Problem

I'm using gitpython on celery to clone public repositories and manipulate them. If a user specifies a private repository, it blocks the program whilst waiting for input from the screen where celery runs.

 -------------- celery@rubenPC v4.0.2 (latentcall)

- ** ---------- [config]
- ** ---------- .> app:         app:0x7f31d3e7afd0

                .> celery           exchange=celery(direct) key=celery

Repo URL: http://example.com/user/privaterepo
Username for 'https://gitlab.com': 

This causes the worker to be unusable, and never exit the job. kill_after_timeout doesn't make a difference.

Here is my code:

print("Repo URL: " + urlstr)
repo = git.Repo.clone_from(urlstr, gitDir, \
		progress=None, env=None, depth=1, recursive=True, kill_after_timeout=15)

git://

I've tried hanging to git://. This causes the client to be stuck on Cloning into dir forever - I can reproduce this just using git clone git://URL. kill_after_timeout doesn't make a difference.

crendential.helper

The following command works on pure CLI:

git clone -c credential.helper='!f() { cat > /dev/null; echo username=; echo password=; }; f' http://example.com/user/privaterepo

However I can't work out how to specify the above using GitPython.

print("Repo URL: " + urlstr)
repo = git.Repo.clone_from(urlstr, gitDir, \
        c="credential.helper='!f() { cat > /dev/null; echo username=; echo password=; }; f'", \
		progress=None, env=None, depth=1, recursive=True, kill_after_timeout=15)
