Cruise Control.NET: how to set username and password for git repository task?

Question

I'm running a CCNet service on my build server to build a Git repository-based solution. The Git repository is password protected. Is there a way to set the username and password for the source control task?

<sourcecontrol type="git">
</sourcecontrol>

Answer 1

method 1

if you don't care about security, embed password in URL string

http://user:[email protected]/abc/def.git

method 2

use a git credential helper to store username and password (more secure)

msysgit 1.8.1 or later: set config to enable the built-in git-credential-wincred [credential] helper = wincred

or install git-credential-winstore for older msysgit
