git supports windows authentication. but how to use it without user interaction?


Git for windows is able to authenticate using windows authentication (NTLM): just press enter twice when asked for user credentials.

C:\Program Files (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\server\MyGitProject>git clone http://cgdlyovm0161:8080/tfs/TAHAA/DT_FWK_GIT/_git/Cegid.Net%20Trunk WorkingDirectory

But.. How to skip the request for user credentials?, i.e. the part

Username for 'http://cgdlyovm0161:8080':
Password for 'http://cgdlyovm0161:8080':

The aim here is to use the credentials of the current user, without neither any interaction nor any configuration file.


Solution

  • The answer was obvious.

    git clone http://:@cgdlyovm0161:8080/tfs/TAHAA/DT_FWK_GIT/_git/Cegid.Net%20Trunk WorkingDirectory
    

    Notice the :@ token between http:// and the hostname.
