Fwd: Can't override username of default credential context to have different username in custom context.
Hi, Here is my scenario: 1. First I set default username git config --global credential.username myUsername 2. Then I want to have different username for my other repository git config --global credential.https://myOtherRepository.visualstudio.com.username myOtherUsername 3. When I try to pull new changes, git asks for password of myUsername Password for 'https://myusern...@myotherrepository.visualstudio.com': But I want to have: Password for 'https://myotherusern...@myotherrepository.visualstudio.com': Is there any way to accomplish overriding? PS: I've found that if I change steps 1 and 2 I will get what I want. But this is not a solution as it require to unset and set credential.username after I add a new credential context. So the ordering does matter and it looks for me like it shouldn't. -- Best regards, Vlad. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Only by changing the ordering in the config file, as you noticed. The other http.* options will choose the most-specific match, but the credential code predates that, and blindly goes in config order. Kyle (cc'd) added the urlmatch support for http.*, and might be able to say whether it could be adapted for the credential code. If so, then I think it would need somebody to volunteer to work on it. That would technically be a backwards-incompatible change to switch the lookup order at this point in time, but I'm somewhat of the opinion that in any case it matters, the new behavior would be a strict improvement. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
