Description

Describe the bug
I was fallowing the gut of how to use nix to compile the project and the part where . it tells you to use the command

git submodule update --init --recursive

requires a user name and password for wire-server-enterprise

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. git clone https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server.git
  2. git submodule update --init --recursive

Expected behavior
It should allow pulling the source since its needed for building from source

Research direction

Start with the documented clone command and git submodule update --init --recursive, then inspect the wire-server-enterprise submodule reference and its access requirements. Reproduce the authentication prompt from a fresh clone and determine whether the source or setup instructions expose a usable unauthenticated path. Done means the documented source-build setup can initialize required submodules without credentials.
