Improving git's password prompt

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

 



Hi!

I'm aware that most repositories use "open HTTP" or SSH public key authentication, but for the few cases where SSH with password is being used, there is a minor probem like this:
---
tester@host:~/iredir> git fetch
Password:
---

Now if you are working busily with the project you probably know where the repository came from, what the username and password is, but if you haven't worked with the repository for a while, it might be helpful to see the username and host (the part up to ':' in the display of "git remote -v", e.g.: "windl@server") with the password prompt to select the correct password.

So my proposal would be "Password for user@host:" instead of just "Password:".

Problem seen in git 2.26.1...

Regards,
Ulrich
