I'm trying to use go-git
to clone a repository from GitHub Enterprise. To do that, I'm using the HTTPS protocol with an access token with appropriate permissions for my repos (verified on the command line). go-git
fails when making the git-upload-pack
RPC call because the server responds with a 400:
$ go run main.go
unexpected client error: unexpected requesting "https://github.mycompany.net/my-org/myrepo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack" status code: 400
The request it makes is equivalent to this:
GET /my-org/myrepo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Host: github.mycompany.net
User-Agent: git/1.0
Accept: */*
Authorization: Bearer atokenthatisdefinitelyvalid
Without the token in the request header, I get the expected 401 (Anonymous access denied
) response from the repository. With the token, it responds with a 400.
I have found the same to be true for public repositories on non-Enterprise GitHub; with the difference that it (expectedly) works without an Authorization
header since none is necessary. If I include a valid token, GitHub just like its Enterprise version responds with a 400.
Below is a minimal example. Is there a way to use go-git
with GitHub Enterprise that requires authentication? Ideally using an auth token?
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
git "gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v4"
"gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v4/plumbing"
"gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v4/plumbing/transport/http"
)
const (
repoURL = "https://github.mycompany.net/my-org/myrepo.git"
githubAccessToken = "atokenthatisdefinitelyvalid"
)
func main() {
dir, _ := ioutil.TempDir("", "temp_dir")
options := &git.CloneOptions{
Auth: &http.TokenAuth{Token: githubAccessToken},
URL: repoURL,
Depth: 500,
ReferenceName: plumbing.ReferenceName("refs/heads/master"),
SingleBranch: true,
Tags: git.NoTags,
}
_, err := git.PlainClone(dir, false, options)
fmt.Println(err)
}
Turns out that Github uses the token as a password for your user, so it requires a basic authentication rather than a token in the header:
options := &git.CloneOptions{
Auth: &http.BasicAuth{Username: "myusername", Token: "mytoken"},
URL: repoURL,
Depth: 500,
ReferenceName: plumbing.ReferenceName("refs/heads/master"),
SingleBranch: true,
Tags: git.NoTags,
}
