unable to install automatically without pivotal org ssh keys

[cwlbraa]

The CF CAPI team would love to use git-author, but we cannot automatically install it via Brewfile or by scripting because the permissions here require that one is logged in to the Pivotal org. 😢 We perform unattended installs and upgrades of our workspace machines, and would prefer for this to roll out to all of them simultaneously and automatically.

Please make this public or fix the Brew formula. It'd be very much appreciated.

Thanks, and excited to be rid of git-duet! 🎉

The brew tap downloads a tar.gz and then untars it. See https://github.com/pivotal-legacy/homebrew-tap/blob/master/git-author.rb

I'll check out your Brewfile once I find your team's repo. I did a search for capi and had 0 search results. Discoverability fail. =(

pivotal/workstation-setup does the installation with a brew install git-author without requiring the user to authenticate. https://github.com/pivotal/workstation-setup/blob/8e307518ce696d43df26f03914dd0e48e5895999/scripts/common/git.sh#L8

Given the way that the https://github.com/pivotal org is currently set up, if you use git@github.com:pivotal/git-author.gityou will need to authenticate. Anyone can use https://github.com/pivotal/git-author.git to download the repo. If this is a problem, please let @onlyawave know

We must've had some broken git config on Friday. Both Brew and git clone https://github.com/pivotal/git-author.git were asking for username/password authentication. Works fine today. Very strange. Maybe we attempted to clone the wrong repo.

You can see the workspace here: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/capi-workspace . Added tags just now to make it more searchable.
