Answer 2

For a different approach which also illistrates how to get the URL of a single named submodule:

for submodule in $(git submodule | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs)
do
  git config --file=.gitmodules submodule.${submodule}.url
done

this works without git submodule update --init

git config --file .gitmodules --get-regexp '\.url$' | awk '{print $2}'
