tortoisegit-config-user-pass
Information
I use tortoisegit. When I clone a repo, and then push to it, tortoisegit asks me for my credentials. Every time I commit and push, I am confronted by these credentials windows. After some research, I found that I can put my username (and password, if I wanted) into a git config file, so when I push to a repo, tortoisegit does not ask for my username (or password, if I put it in).
This is an app to make it easier to add usernames (and passwords, if you want) to git config files.
Install
- Clone this repo
- Get node if you don't have it
- In cmd/terminal navigate to repo and do
node . [flags]
Flags
All the flags are optional. All defaults are specified in ./defaults.json
No spaces are allowed in the arguments. (E.g. -r C:/src is ok, but -r C:/my src is not. If you need spaces to be allowed, make an issue, or better yet, a pull request.)
Flags:
--user
-u <username> or --user <username> or --username <username>
If this is an empty string or not supplied, the app will automatically use the repo owner as the username. (E.g. The repo: https://github.com/ArtskydJ/tortoisegit-config-user-pass would make ArtskydJ the username, and the repo: https://github.com/joyent/node would make joyent the username.) If it is supplied, it will supercede the owner.
--pass (optional)
-p <password> or --pass <password> or --password <password>
If this is an empty string or not supplied, tortoisegit will still ask you for your password.
--repo-path
-r <repoPath> or --repo <repoPath> or --repo-path <repoPath>
This is the folder where your repos are stored. Remember, no spaces are allowed!
