2018-07-30tests: make use of the test_must_be_empty functionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+1
Change various tests that use an idiom of the form: >expect && test_cmp expect actual To instead use: test_must_be_empty actual The test_must_be_empty() wrapper was introduced in ca8d148daf ("test: test_must_be_empty helper", 2013-06-09). Many of these tests have been added after that time. This was mostly found with, and manually pruned from: git grep '^\s+>.*expect.* &&$' t Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-02-26credential: let empty credential specs reset helper listLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
Sine the credential.helper key is a multi-valued config list, there's no way to "unset" a helper once it's been set. So if your system /etc/gitconfig sets one, you can never avoid running it, but only add your own helpers on top. Since an empty value for credential.helper is nonsensical (it would just try to run "git-credential-"), we can assume nobody is using it. Let's define it to reset the helper list, letting you override lower-priority instances which have come before.

2014-12-04credential: let helpers tell us to quitLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
When we are trying to fill a credential, we loop over the set of defined credential-helpers, then fall back to running askpass, and then finally prompt on the terminal. Helpers which cannot find a credential are free to tell us nothing, but they cannot currently ask us to stop prompting. This patch lets them provide a "quit" attribute, which asks us to stop the process entirely (avoiding running more helpers, as well as the askpass/terminal prompt). This has a few possible uses: 1. A helper which prompts the user itself (e.g., in a dialog) can provide a "cancel" button to the user to stop further prompts. 2. Some helpers may know that prompting cannot possibly work. For example, if their role is to broker a ticket from an external auth system and that auth system cannot be contacted, there is no point in continuing (we need a ticket to authenticate, and the user cannot provide one by typing it in).

2014-04-29t0300-credentials.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitutionLibravatar Elia Pinto1-1/+1
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`. The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. The patch was generated by: for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f} done and then carefully proof-read.

2012-06-25git credential fill: output the whole 'struct credential'Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+14
Instead of outputing only the username and password, print all the attributes, even those that already appeared in the input. This is closer to what the C API does, and allows one to take the exact output of "git credential fill" as input to "git credential approve" or "git credential reject".

* maint: Update draft release notes to 1.7.9.3 for the last time http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxy t0300: work around bug in dash 0.5.6 t5512 (ls-remote): modernize style tests: fix spurious error when run directly with Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
2012-03-02t0300: work around bug in dash 0.5.6Libravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+4
The construct 'while IFS== read' makes dash 0.5.6 execute read without changing IFS, which results in test breakages all over the place in t0300. Neither dash 0.5.5.1 and older nor dash 0.5.7 and newer are affected: The problem was introduded resp. fixed by the commits 55c46b7 ([BUILTIN] Honor tab as IFS whitespace when splitting fields in readcmd, 2009-08-11) 1d806ac ([VAR] Do not poplocalvars prematurely on regular utilities, 2010-05-27) in http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/dash/dash.git Putting 'IFS==' before that line makes all versions of dash work. This looks like a dash bug, not a misinterpretation of the standard. However, it's worth working around for two reasons. One, this version of dash was released in Fedora 14-16, so the bug is found in the wild. And two, at least one other shell, Solaris /bin/sh, choked on this by persisting IFS after the read invocation. That is not a shell we usually care about, and I think this use of IFS is acceptable by POSIX (which allows other behavior near "special builtins", but "read" is not one of those). But it seems that this may be a subtle, not-well-tested case for some shells. Given that the workaround is so simple, it's worth just being defensive.

2012-02-03t0300: use write_script helperLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+2
t0300 creates some helper shell scripts, and marks them with "!/bin/sh". Even though the scripts are fairly simple, they can fail on broken shells (specifically, Solaris /bin/sh will persist a temporary assignment to IFS in a "read" command). Rather than work around the problem for Solaris /bin/sh, using write_script will make sure we point to a known-good shell that the user has given us.

2011-12-11credential: make relevance of http path configurableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+29
When parsing a URL into a credential struct, we carefully record each part of the URL, including the path on the remote host, and use the result as part of the credential context. This had two practical implications: 1. Credential helpers which store a credential for later access are likely to use the "path" portion as part of the storage key. That means that a request to https://example.com/foo.git would not use the same credential that was stored in an earlier request for: https://example.com/bar.git 2. The prompt shown to the user includes all relevant context, including the path. In most cases, however, users will have a single password per host. The behavior in (1) will be inconvenient, and the prompt in (2) will be overly long. This patch introduces a config option to toggle the relevance of http paths. When turned on, we use the path as before. When turned off, we drop the path component from the context: helpers don't see it, and it does not appear in the prompt. This is nothing you couldn't do with a clever credential helper at the start of your stack, like: [credential "http://"] helper = "!f() { grep -v ^path= ; }; f" helper = your_real_helper But doing this: [credential] useHttpPath = false is way easier and more readable. Furthermore, since most users will want the "off" behavior, that is the new default. Users who want it "on" can set the variable (either for all credentials, or just for a subset using credential.*.useHttpPath).

2011-12-11credential: add credential.*.usernameLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+13
Credential helpers can help users avoid having to type their username and password over and over. However, some users may not want a helper for their password, or they may be running a helper which caches for a short time. In this case, it is convenient to provide the non-secret username portion of their credential via config. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-11credential: apply helper configLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+42
The functionality for credential storage helpers is already there; we just need to give the users a way to turn it on. This patch provides a "credential.helper" configuration variable which allows the user to provide one or more helper strings. Rather than simply matching credential.helper, we will also compare URLs in subsection headings to the current context. This means you can apply configuration to a subset of credentials. For example: [credential "https://example.com"] helper = foo would match a request for "https://example.com/foo.git", but not one for "https://kernel.org/foo.git". This is overkill for the "helper" variable, since users are unlikely to want different helpers for different sites (and since helpers run arbitrary code, they could do the matching themselves anyway). However, future patches will add new config variables where this extra feature will be more useful. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-11introduce credentials APILibravatar Jeff King1-0/+195
There are a few places in git that need to get a username and password credential from the user; the most notable one is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing. Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The former is not very secure, and the latter is not very convenient. Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff you want between security and convenience, as well as how git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for single sign-on). This patch provides an abstract notion of credentials as a data item, and provides three basic operations: - fill (i.e., acquire from external storage or from the user) - approve (mark a credential as "working" for further storage) - reject (mark a credential as "not working", so it can be removed from storage) These operations can be backed by external helper processes that interact with system- or user-specific secure storage.
