TFS doesn't support ssh. Only https. And yeah, I agree that storing the password in a session or global variable can be a security concern since anyone can walk up to the console and get to the data. Even if it's encrypted, if they are on that node, they can get to it.
I'll try your suggestion and let you know.
And thanks for the suggestion regarding disabling auto-fetch.
This would not help @kasajian but I'd imagine their are considerable amount of people who can benefit from ungit using keys found in ~/.ssh.
Is there any argument against this idea?
@codingtwinky Well git itself will try to use the local ssh-agent, which in turn uses the keys in .ssh, so in effect ungit already is using them (if you have everything correctly set up for using git)
With autofetch false ungit will not connect to the remote repository, but I'm wandering to have a readonly mode, I prefer handle my repository with the command-line interface. Any way to do this?
i think this is a good idea. I think this product will actually get more interest if it had a "view-only" mode.
Any update on this??? for view-only mode
I am being asked to login over and over. Cannot successfully log in to Github.
When using Ungit with MIcrosoft's TFS 2013 Git server, ungit continually asks to login.
There's actually two problems.
When I first launch ungit, it asks me to login. But I've not yet requested an operation that requires access to the server. Ungit should be able to use the local git repository without logging into the server. The login dialog doesn't have a cancel button. The workaround is to ignore the login dialog and hit the app's Refresh button, which will cause several errors to pop-up which you can then ignore. This workaround can be improved by adding a cancel button.
This way, ungit can be used for read-only operations. This is useful when ungit is used as a visualizer, and other tools are used to do the actual work. In this way, you never have to log-in through Ungit.
