[PATCHv3] git-send-email: add ~/.authinfo parsing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@xxxxxxxxxx>

Make git-send-email read password from a ~/.authinfo or ~/.netrc file
instead of requiring it to be stored in git configuration, passed as
command line argument or typed in.

There are various other applications that use this file for
authentication information so letting users use it for git-send-email
is convinient.  Furthermore, some users store their ~/.gitconfig file
in a public repository and having to store password there makes it
easy to publish the password.

I don't think that's the case.  For one, Net::Netrc does not seem to
process port number.

There is a Text::Authinfo module but it just uses Text::CSV.

I can change the code to use Net::Netrc, but I dunno if that's really
the best option, since I feel people would expect parsing to be
somehow compatible with
<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/NNTP.html>
rather than the original .netrc file format.

Ha!  Even better. :]
