Cannot choose from multiple credentials about git-credential-keepassxc HOT 8 OPEN

@JJRcop Enable verbose logging -vv.

In terms of the desktop notifications I'd like to keep them minimal. It might be nice to see this message via notification for the first time, but over the time it just becomes annoying imo. Notifications are limited to critical events and those require user intervention for now. If we had too many, a filter would be needed, which is another rabbit hole I don't want to go down into.

I tried to ask for a choice from stdin but Git doesn't seem to allow passing user input onto helpers after it's done feeding its own request. Perhaps this is not feasible atm.

Someday soon this may become a real problem:

@JJRcop May I know why the KPH solution doesn't work for you?

This can be potentially solved by having a pop-up UI (like pinentry), but I'm not particularly motivated to do it since it'll pull in quite a few dependencies only to solve some fringe cases imo.

@JJRcop May I know why the KPH solution doesn't work for you?

Please forgive me for missing this, it works great. The application may consider notifying when there are multiple matching entries and link to this information.

hi, I've tried the KPH solution linked above and GCK seems to still be requesting access to the marked entries.

I have followed the instructions exactly (KPH field return enabled in browser options, "KPH: git" field with "false" value on the relevant entry).

any advice?

edit: will followup with edit since it's not worth another comment - keepassxc, when not set to "remember" your login for github, will still prompt using all logins, but GCK will filter them after. in retrospect this should be obvious..

@atagen I'd suggest you use -vv to enable info & warning logs first. If it doesn't help, try a debug build with -vvv. Instructions can be found at https://github.com/Frederick888/git-credential-keepassxc/wiki/Troubleshooting

Would you consider returning the Title (or any unique identifier) of the entries in -vv instead? 😕

For the (modified) example of https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/blob/develop/keepassxc-protocol.md#get-logins:

$ cat > ~/a.json <<"EOF"
{
    "action": "get-logins",
    "url": "<snip>",
    "submitUrl": "<optional>",
    "httpAuth": "<optional>",
    "keys": [

            "id": "<saved database identifier received from associate>",
            "key": "<saved identification public key>"
        },
        {
            "id": "<another saved database identifier received from associate>",
            "key": "<saved identification public key>"
        }
    ]
