I am trying to integrate gitlab CI on my node project, I have SSH access, but my script stop with error :

I already tried

git config --global credential.helper store

git config --global user.password "myPassword"

git config --global user.email "myEmail"

  • I see that git does not offer a no interaction option...

  • image: node:latest with debian server

  • My ssh credentials and access is OK

  • When I test directly on the server, it still asks for my connection information

  • it's a private repository

    `user.password` is not used. Never set it, because it's generally *readable* by anyone and you should generally not store your password where anyone can see it. But *Git* never *looks* at this value (it reads the file and sees it and throws it away because it's not looking for anything named `user.password`), so all you did was write your password in large clear letters where everyone *except* Git will see it. – torek Aug 23 '21 at 08:36

    Meanwhile: *credential helpers* exist for `http` and `https`, but when using `ssh`, Git hands the operation off to a separate `ssh` command, which does not use Git's credential helpers at all. So the `credential.helper` setting is not relevant *unless* you ask Git to use `http` or `https` (which you seem to be doing here). Last, the `user.email` setting is used when you run `git commit` (only), not when you run `git push`. – torek Aug 23 '21 at 08:37

Try changing your repo origin on server using this command:

git remote set-url origin https://username:access_token_or_password@gitlab.com/path_to_your_repo/repo.git

This way it won't ask for credentials while git pull or git push

  • thanks for your response ! with your command, I have this message : error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects. Is there a way to not go through the protocol associated with git, but rather with the classic https ? – Sacha Durand Aug 23 '21 at 10:03

  • it works now, it was necessary to execute set-url origin command, as well as to change the rights on the .git file and his components, and set group mod ! Thanks you very much ! – Sacha Durand Aug 23 '21 at 10:43
  • Glad it helped :) – Harshit Rastogi Aug 23 '21 at 11:24

This solution worked for me from gitlab https://wahlnetwork.com/2020/08/11/using-private-git-repositories-as-terraform-modules/ . In summary I setup a token and I executed the git config command from the pipeline
