[chef] Re: Git resource, https clone, and username and password auth using git resource

[Jeremy Voorhis < >]

I'd try embedding the username and password in the git url, i.e. "https://user: /mycompany/MyRepo.git".

Cheers,

Hi,

The below is how I am doing an initial checkout from git and syncing

every chef run. I am using using a bare bones ubuntu AMI with git and

SSH keys authed with git hub. All works find using this method.

git "/home/ubuntu/workspace/MyRepo" do

repository " "> :mycomoany/MyRepo.git"

reference branch_name

action :sync

user "root"

end

I prefer to use https with username and password auth for git with

https clone. Per the docs, it seems that that the git resource has

usename and password for the repo. Only SVN. I can do a python

script using pexpect for auth but that seems overkill. Anyway

to use the git resource?

Thanks
