I would like to push my project to Google Code.
I created a new project, in tab Source I have got few instructions how to push my local code.
I work on Windows 7, so I created a directory
C:\googlecode
and I put there file
_netrc
and inside
machine code.google.com login myloginhere@gmail.com password MySecretCodeHere
After that I added new System Variable(sorry, I use non-english version of Windows)
HOME
I clicked OK, OK.
Following the instructions, I cloned this repo:
git clone https://path/to/repo
I added a new file README
touch README
git add *
git commit -m "README"
git push origin master
and here I got an error:
fatal: remote error: Invalid username/password.
You may need to use your generated googlecode.com password; see https://code.goo
gle.com/hosting/settings
What more I should do to make it works?
I restarted my computer and I run command SET HOME
I copied git-credential-netrc
file to driectory;
C:\Users\Aleksander\Documents\googlemagic
Checked:
Then, I went to diectory with my repo and I run a command
git config credential.helper netrc -d -v
It printed an output:
usage: git config [options]
Config file location
--global use global config file
--system use system config file
--local use repository config file
-f, --file <file> use given config file
--blob <blob-id> read config from given blob object
Action
--get get value: name [value-regex]
--get-all get all values: key [value-regex]
--get-regexp get values for regexp: name-regex [value-regex]
--replace-all replace all matching variables: name value [value_rege
x]
--add add a new variable: name value
--unset remove a variable: name [value-regex]
--unset-all remove all matches: name [value-regex]
--rename-section rename section: old-name new-name
--remove-section remove a section: name
-l, --list list all
-e, --edit open an editor
--get-color <slot> find the color configured: [default]
--get-colorbool <slot>
find the color setting: [stdout-is-tty]
Type
--bool value is "true" or "false"
--int value is decimal number
--bool-or-int value is --bool or --int
--path value is a path (file or directory name)
Other
-z, --null terminate values with NUL byte
--includes respect include directives on lookup
I was trying to modify this command line but without any result. I tried to add
'$shortname -f netrc'
or change options -d -v
but then, I have no output.
Command: git config credential.helper "netrc -d -v"
worked. Output below:
First, you need to make sure HOME
is actually defined in your session.
To be sure, close your cmd
shell, reopen it and type set HOME to see it does reference the right folder.
Second, you need to check that the credential helper netrc is activated:
add:
cd yourRepo
git config credential.helper "netrc -d -v"
(the -d
and -v
will show you what is actually used when looking for your password)
Finally, your remote upstream repo should include your login in it:
git clone https://myLogin@example.com/myRepo
Try to avoid a login with a '@' in it (like an email), or you would need to encode that '@' sign (%40
).
