Subject: [http] Git error messages reveal password encoded in the URL
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 10:00:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C4484A4.5010009@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
We use http to serve our git repos, in order for git to not ask me a
username/password everytime, I've put the following in my .git/config:
[remote "origin"]
url = https://user:pass@host/repo.git
What is discerning is that every time git encounters a problem
connecting to the repo, I get the following error containing both my
username and password.
error: Couldn't resolve host 'host' while accessing
https://user:pass@host/repo.git/info/refs
I would like to suggest that the password be removed/masked from this
error message.
