AOSP repo sync with a private repository


I have a private repository for one of the applications I'm using in the ROM I'm building.

Problem I'm having is I know of no way to input my GitHub credentials during repo sync.

Is it possible to use repo sync when one of the repositories is private (excluding manual sync)?


Solution

  • The answer lies in git's ability to store credentials.

    Do git config --global credentials.helper store

    Sync a repository from each URL manually, eg one GitHub.

    After inputting the credentials the first time it'll never ask again!
