2 Step Authentication #323
Description
A little reminder for people who are using 2 step authentication (I lost a fair while to this 😞 ). You will not be able to use anything other than a SSH connection when using nodegit to operate remotely. If you're finding that any remote operations are just hanging, this is most likely the cause.
Example:
var nodegit = require('nodegit'),
clone = nodegit.Clone.clone,
userpassPlaintextNew = nodegit.Cred.userpassPlaintextNew,
user = 'my-user-name',
pass = 'a-very-secret-password',
path = '/tmp/somewhere',
options = {
remoteCallbacks: {
credentials: function () {
return userpassPlaintextNew(user, pass);
}
}
};
function url() {
var url = 'https://'
url += encodeURIComponent(user);
url += ':';
url += encodeURIComponent(pass);
url += '@github.com/some-user/some-project.git',
return url;
}
clone(url(), path, options)
.then(function (repo) {
console.log('IF YOU\'RE USING 2 STEP AUTH THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN!');
});It's very difficult for automated services to get by 2 step authentication...that's why it's there. I'd recommend using other credentials until there's support for some kind of manual intervention.
