Unfortunately, right now Fabric isn't able to easily hook you into the remote end's prompts other than sudo prompts. This isn't a terrifically easy problem to solve (it's not unique to Fabric) but we're working on it. For now, the solution is to make everything as noninteractive as possible, which for Git means using SSH key based auth with the Git server and having your key on the system(s) that need Git access*. Given some recent inroads I'm hoping Fabric 1.0 will have at least experimental support for a more interactive mode. Keep an eye on http://code.fabfile.org/issues/show/7 for more info. Best, Jeff * I would say "or use an SSH agent" which is a superior approach than having your key everywhere, but our SSH layer Paramiko doesn't do that either :( hoping to submit a patch to them sometime if I can figure out a fix for that too. -- Jeff Forcier Unix sysadmin; Python/Ruby developer http://bitprophet.org _______________________________________________ Fab-user mailing list Fab-user@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fab-user
