pass-git-credential-helper

Overview

git credential helper that gets the password from a pass storage

pass uses gpg under the hood

Only the password retrieval is supported, i.e, the get operation.

store, erase are not supported

Configure git to use the helper for a specific url like https://github.com

[credential "https://github.com"]
       username = clidev
       helper = /usr/local/bin/pass-git-credential-helper

It will look for a password named gitlab.com/clidev

Only the hostname is used (not the path)

You can override the user by adding the -u option like in the following:

[credential "https://github.com"]
       username = clidev
       helper = /usr/local/bin/pass-git-credential-helper -u secdev

It will look for a password named gitlab.com/secdev

Or you can set the password name entirely by using the -p option:

[credential "https://github.com"]
       username = clidev
       helper = /usr/local/bin/pass-git-credential-helper -p secdev

It will look for a password named secdev

Since the store command is not supported currently an error message is displayed to stderr about that

Error: Unsupported operation [store]
