Exactly. Though see my other response to Matthieu, which notes that: git credential fill https://peff:supersecret@xxxxxxxxxxx/foo.git is problematic. :( Probably it should be spelled: git credential fill <<\EOF url=https://peff:supersecret@xxxxxxxxxxx/foo.git EOF and then: git credential fill <<\EOF url=https://peff:supersecret@xxxxxxxxxxx/foo.git username=junio password=othersecret would do what you expect (break the URL out into its components, and then override particular fields). -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
