Yeah, I think it makes sense to use the credential-helpers. > Anyone can send me a starting point, like a url with the > documentation of git-credential-helpers? Try: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/technical/api-credentials.txt But that is the C API, and I assume you are building on the existing mediawiki helper that is written in perl. So I think what you really want is a "git credential" command that will let scripts hook into the credential API. Something like: $ git credential get https://example.com username=bob password=secret $ cat <<\EOF | git credential store https://example.com username=bob password=secret EOF $ cat <<\EOF | git credential erase https://example.com username=bob password=secret EOF I had planned eventually to do something like this for git-svn, but realized that it was more sane to just let svn library handle the credential storage. Do you guys want to try writing "git credential" as above? It might be a fun side project, but I know you are also on a limited timeframe for your project. I can work on it if you don't have time. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
