I am currently trying to push to Git via GitPython using HTTPS. I am able to do this successfully, but I am prompted to enter my username and password for every fetch, push, and pull operation.
I would like to have my username and password be entered as command line arguments as my script makes a couple of git interactions. This repo will be on probably 40+ servers as a method of config management, and I don't want to set up all the SSH keys especially since it will often be used from a user on the host that is not myself.
Does anyone know how to take context of the shell from the python script to programmatically enter my username and password (they are already in my code as variables from the command line) or a way to pass my username and password to GitPython so that the shell prompt never even happens?
git_repo = Repo.init(repo_dir)
origin = git_repo.remote('origin')
origin.fetch() # Shell prompted here for username and password
git_repo.heads.dev.checkout()
origin.pull() # Shell prompted here for username and password
git_repo.git.add([added_filename])
git_repo.git.commit(commit_message)
origin.push() # Shell prompted here for username and password
