git-credential - Retrieve and store user credentials
Синопсис (Synopsis)
git credential <fill|approve|reject>
Описание (Description)
Git has an internal interface for storing and retrieving
credentials from system-specific helpers, as well as prompting
the user for usernames and passwords. The git-credential command
exposes this interface to scripts which may want to retrieve,
store, or prompt for credentials in the same manner as Git. The
design of this scriptable interface models the internal C API;
see credential.h for more background on the concepts.
git-credential takes an "action" option on the command-line (one
of fill
, approve
, or reject
) and reads a credential description
on stdin (see INPUT/OUTPUT FORMAT).
If the action is fill
, git-credential will attempt to add
"username" and "password" attributes to the description by
reading config files, by contacting any configured credential
helpers, or by prompting the user. The username and password
attributes of the credential description are then printed to
stdout together with the attributes already provided.
If the action is approve
, git-credential will send the
description to any configured credential helpers, which may store
the credential for later use.
If the action is reject
, git-credential will send the description
to any configured credential helpers, which may erase any stored
credential matching the description.
If the action is approve
or reject
, no output should be emitted.
TYPICAL USE OF GIT CREDENTIAL
An application using git-credential will typically use git
credential
following these steps:
1. Generate a credential description based on the context.
For example, if we want a password for
https://example.com/foo.git
, we might generate the following
credential description (don't forget the blank line at the
end; it tells git credential
that the application finished
feeding all the information it has):
protocol=https
host=example.com
path=foo.git
2. Ask git-credential to give us a username and password for
this description. This is done by running git credential
fill
, feeding the description from step (1) to its standard
input. The complete credential description (including the
credential per se, i.e. the login and password) will be
produced on standard output, like:
protocol=https
host=example.com
username=bob
password=secr3t
In most cases, this means the attributes given in the input
will be repeated in the output, but Git may also modify the
credential description, for example by removing the path
attribute when the protocol is HTTP(s) and
credential.useHttpPath
is false.
If the git credential
knew about the password, this step may
not have involved the user actually typing this password (the
user may have typed a password to unlock the keychain
instead, or no user interaction was done if the keychain was
already unlocked) before it returned password=secr3t
.
3. Use the credential (e.g., access the URL with the username
and password from step (2)), and see if it's accepted.
4. Report on the success or failure of the password. If the
credential allowed the operation to complete successfully,
then it can be marked with an "approve" action to tell git
credential
to reuse it in its next invocation. If the
credential was rejected during the operation, use the
"reject" action so that git credential
will ask for a new
password in its next invocation. In either case, git
credential
should be fed with the credential description
obtained from step (2) (which also contain the ones provided
in step (1)).
INPUT/OUTPUT FORMAT
git credential
reads and/or writes (depending on the action used)
credential information in its standard input/output. This
information can correspond either to keys for which git
credential
will obtain the login information (e.g. host,
protocol, path), or to the actual credential data to be obtained
(username/password).
The credential is split into a set of named attributes, with one
attribute per line. Each attribute is specified by a key-value
pair, separated by an =
(equals) sign, followed by a newline.
The key may contain any bytes except =
, newline, or NUL. The
value may contain any bytes except newline or NUL.
In both cases, all bytes are treated as-is (i.e., there is no
quoting, and one cannot transmit a value with newline or NUL in
it). The list of attributes is terminated by a blank line or
end-of-file.
Git understands the following attributes:
protocol
The protocol over which the credential will be used (e.g.,
https
).
host
The remote hostname for a network credential. This includes
the port number if one was specified (e.g.,
"example.com:8088").
path
The path with which the credential will be used. E.g., for
accessing a remote https repository, this will be the
repository's path on the server.
username
The credential's username, if we already have one (e.g., from
a URL, the configuration, the user, or from a previously run
helper).
password
The credential's password, if we are asking it to be stored.
url
When this special attribute is read by git credential
, the
value is parsed as a URL and treated as if its constituent
parts were read (e.g., url=https://example.com
would behave
as if protocol=https
and host=example.com
had been provided).
This can help callers avoid parsing URLs themselves.
Note that specifying a protocol is mandatory and if the URL
doesn't specify a hostname (e.g., "cert:///path/to/file") the
credential will contain a hostname attribute whose value is
an empty string.
Components which are missing from the URL (e.g., there is no
username in the example above) will be left unset.
