Cannot clone GitHub repository with username/PAT

[zatkowich]

What happened:

I tried to set:

username: <username>
password: <PAT>

which I use in all CI/CD tools.

Of course, using the particular schema for SSH or HTTPS clone.

Instead of cloning successfully, I got following log:

What you expected to happen:

Repo being cloned, just like with SSH key.

How to reproduce it:

Try cloning repo using GitHub username/PAT instead of

Environment:

• piped version: 0.55.0
• control-plane version: 0.55.0

Thanks for this, @zatkowich. We will check this out!

fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com'

I find this error message quite strange. Could you share the piped config -> git config session you used for the test?

Also, this is the docs for that configuration as reference: https://pipecd.dev/docs-v0.55.x/user-guide/managing-piped/configuration-reference/#git
