Authenticating a push? about git.php HOT 5 CLOSED

Related: Using push like this does work:
$repo->push('https://USERNAME:[email protected]/USERNAME/REPO.git', 'BRANCHNAME');

from git.php.

You could try using the git-credential-cache command to tell git to remember the password for future commands.

Hmm... Okay, I've created ~/.git-credentials in format: https://username:[email protected]\n and am trying to push like: $repo->push('https://www.github.com/username/repo.git', 'branch-name') and am getting the following error: Exception: fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': Device not configured in GitRepo->run_command()

Thanks for the fast response, by the way!

Is there some reason specifically that giving the credentials in the push command like you show above isn't good enough? It might help me to figure out a solution if I know your specific limitations/needs.

Hi!
Not really -- supplying them like the above is both flexible and effective. I guess I'm keeping the issue open because I'm curious as to whether there's another way to authenticate.

That said, I think my earlier issue might've been caused by trying to push a repo with no remote -- I had a repo with another repo inside of it, and I was trying to push the latter instead of the former.

Closing now -- feel free to reopen if you want to add documentation on using digest or key-based auth.
