758<div class="sectionbody">
759<div class="paragraph"><p>Git has an internal interface for storing and retrieving credentials
760from system-specific helpers, as well as prompting the user for
761usernames and passwords. The git-credential command exposes this
762interface to scripts which may want to retrieve, store, or prompt for
Junio C Hamano076ffcc2013-02-06 05:13:21763credentials in the same manner as Git. The design of this scriptable
Junio C Hamano8edb4c72012-07-09 20:33:55764interface models the internal C API; see
Junio C Hamanoe6f28d02013-09-17 21:34:00765<a href="technical/api-credentials.html">the Git credential API</a> for more
Junio C Hamano8edb4c72012-07-09 20:33:55766background on the concepts.</p></div>
767<div class="paragraph"><p>git-credential takes an "action" option on the command-line (one of
Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53768<code>fill</code>, <code>approve</code>, or <code>reject</code>) and reads a credential description
Junio C Hamano8edb4c72012-07-09 20:33:55769on stdin (see <a href="#IOFMT">INPUT/OUTPUT FORMAT</a>).</p></div>
Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53770<div class="paragraph"><p>If the action is <code>fill</code>, git-credential will attempt to add "username"
Junio C Hamano8edb4c72012-07-09 20:33:55771and "password" attributes to the description by reading config files,
772by contacting any configured credential helpers, or by prompting the
773user. The username and password attributes of the credential
774description are then printed to stdout together with the attributes
775already provided.</p></div>
Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53776<div class="paragraph"><p>If the action is <code>approve</code>, git-credential will send the description
Junio C Hamano8edb4c72012-07-09 20:33:55777to any configured credential helpers, which may store the credential
778for later use.</p></div>
Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53779<div class="paragraph"><p>If the action is <code>reject</code>, git-credential will send the description to

781credential matching the description.</p></div>

Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53921 When this special attribute is read by <code>git credential</code>, the
Junio C Hamano44dcd492012-07-24 04:35:38922 value is parsed as a URL and treated as if its constituent parts
Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53923 were read (e.g., <code>url=https://example.com</code> would behave as if
924 <code>protocol=https</code> and <code>host=example.com</code> had been provided). This
Junio C Hamano44dcd492012-07-24 04:35:38925 can help callers avoid parsing URLs themselves. Note that any
926 components which are missing from the URL (e.g., there is no
927 username in the example above) will be set to empty; if you want
928 to provide a URL and override some attributes, provide the URL
929 attribute first, followed by any overrides.
