How to match path also to host part of url repo

[Daniele-Tentoni]

I'm looking if around there is a solution to match the path segment of a repository URL like the host part.

I see in the docs that I can declare:

[github.com*]
target=github.com/username

To target a password named github.com/username to authenticate repository with url like: github.com/username/first.git, github.com/username/second.git and so on.

Using the ${host} var the same result could be obtained from:

[*]
target=${host}/username

But if I want to match something in the path segment, like my username and repository name, there isn't solution yet. If I want to use password stored in github.com/username/first and github.com/username/second I'd like to use:

[*]
target=${host}/${path}

# or

[*]
target=${url}

To match the entire url string. This permit a pass configuration like this:

$ pass
Password Store
├── github.com
│   ├── daniele-tentoni
│   |   ├── password-store
│   |   └── vue-mtg-deck-tracker
│   └── username
│       └── another-repo

# In the .ini file
[... other stuff]
...

[*]
target=${url} # This is a catch all target

My question now is: do you have other solution to do this? Any caveat? I could have many repository in many companies each with their usernames.

There's this section in the readme:

If you want to match entries not only based on the host, but also based on the path on a host, set credential.useHttpPath to true in your git config

I think that should work here as long as the amount of usernames is low and can be declared manually in the mapping.

At the moment I think is useful a placeholder for the entire url or the part outside the host. Making an example with the url https://github.com/languitar/pass-git-helper, parts could the following:

Part	Segment
https://github.com/languitar/pass-git-helper	url
https	protocol
github.com	host
languitar/pass-git-helper	path

Bold indicates that has to be developed. I you are fine, I can develop this feature and try to make a PR.

Iirc, ${host} is the full host + path when that git setting I mentioned is used. Can you test that before implementing something?

[Daniele-Tentoni]

I've tried and that is equal to github.com in my case. Those settings are equivalent:

[github.com*]
target=github.com/username
target=${host}/username

[languitar]

Alright. https://github.com/languitar/pass-git-helper/blob/main/passgithelper.py#L367 requires replacing more variables then. Could you open a PR for that?

[Daniele-Tentoni]

What is the purpose of username tag? At debug I have: DEBUG:root:Received request "['protocol=https\n', 'host=github.com\n', 'path=daniele-tentoni/pass-git-helper.git\n', 'wwwauth[]=Basic realm="GitHub"\n']", a request without that value. Am I missing some configuration? Is still relevant?

Would be provided if your URL in the .git/config contained it.
