Would appreciate if you could take a look @pmrowla

dulwich/credentials.py

+        for line in res.stdout.decode("UTF-8").strip().split("\n"):
+            try:
+                key, value = line.split("=")
+                credentials[key] = value
+            except ValueError:
+                continue


I don't think we should be making assumptions about text encodings here, and just handle credentials as Dict[bytes, bytes] rather than [str, str].

Text encoding for HTTP basic auth username/password is technically undefined (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7617#appendix-B.3), and depending on the credential manager/system locale settings/etc, I think it's possible that the returned credentials here may not be utf-8 or ascii.

Then later we can just do b64encode(username + b':' + password) where the username/pw are already bytes objects.

Agreed and corrected.

Note though that when username/password kwargs are provided to Urllib3HttpGitClient(), we use urllib3.utils.make_headers:

dulwich/dulwich/client.py

Line 2187 in bb83067

basic_auth = urllib3.util.make_headers(basic_auth=credentials)

which encodes the basic_auth string as latin-1:
https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/972e9f02cd219892701fa0a1129dda7f81dac535/src/urllib3/util/request.py#L101-L104

In practice though, Imost of the time user/pass will be provided as kwargs when using from_parsedurl and in this case username/password are already decoded through urlparse.

When using creds from a credential manager we should be generating the basic auth header ourselves. (We should be following the RFC, not urllib3)

won't this keep retrying upon a 404?

It should not, there's a test for that here:

Dulwich is meant to be independent of C Git; please don't introduce dependencies on C git.

To clarify the intention here isn't to introduce any dependency on C Git, the expected behavior for 3rd party credential helpers is to follow the executable naming conventions set by C Git:

Generally speaking, rule (3) above is the simplest for users to specify. Authors of credential helpers should make an effort to assist their users by naming their program "git-credential-$NAME", and putting it in the $PATH or $GIT_EXEC_PATH during installation, which will allow a user to enable it with git config credential.helper $NAME.

Although that does mean we probably should just use git-credential-{name} instead of relying on git credential-{name} @dtrifiro

I agree.

The rationale for using git credential-foo instead of git-credential-foo here was that (I'm assuming) most users will be using cgit provided credential helpers (such as git-credential-store, git-credential-osxkeychain, git-credential-gnome-keyring, etc), which are in GIT_EXEC_PATH (which is not in PATH). Using git made sure that GIT_EXEC_PATH was also checked.

Pushed a patch which fixes the issue: if git-credential-foo is not in PATH and git cli is available, GIT_EXEC_PATH is retrieved using git --exec-path and we check if git-credential-foo is available in GIT_EXEC_PATH. If git cli is not available, nothing is done, and calling subprocess.run will just raise FileNotFoundError (which will result in CredentialNotFound exception).

Hey @jelmer, this is ready for review btw 🙂

Sorry for sitting on this for so long; I'm a bit concerned about how this makes the interface for authentication more complicated. Ideally there should just be one pythonic interface for authentication, with perhaps one implementation of that that can interact with C git.

+    """matches a parsed url with a partial url (no scheme/netloc)"""
+    if "://" not in partial_url:
+        parsed = urlparse("scheme://" + partial_url)


Shouldn't this be an error instead?

+                and not valid_url.path.rstrip("/").startswith(parsed.path.rstrip("/"))


Wouldn't this consider http://example.com/bla to match http://example.com/blah ?

Indeed, fixed.

Ideally we'd just have one pythonic interface that's implemented by the static credentials files, the helper class and any other python code.

I moved get_credentials_from_store from client to here since it seemed the right place for it, but it is dead code. I would remove this if that's ok with you.

+
+def get_credentials_from_helper(base_url: str, config) -> Tuple[bytes, bytes]:
+    """Retrieves credentials for the given url from git credential helpers"""
+    if isinstance(config, StackedConfig):


Why does this need to peek under the covers, can't it just use the config API?

Given an URL, git loops though the available configs and matches urls in credentials sections with the provided URL, which is something we cannot do with the config API.

For example with a config like this:

[credential "https://github.com/jelmer/dulwich"] helper = githubhelper [credential] helper = generichelper

Running

config.get((b"credential", b"https://github.com))

would return generichelper instead of githubhelper, which is not what we want.

I refactored this a bit so that we use urlmatch_credential_sections to cycle though config sections that match the URL.
This could be extracted to become a config API method, although I'm not sure if there's any other use cases where one needs to match URLs in sections, apart from the credential helpers scenario.

Hi @jelmer, thanks for taking the time to review this 🙂

I'm a bit concerned about how this makes the interface for authentication more complicated. Ideally there should just be one pythonic interface for authentication, with perhaps one implementation of that that can interact with C git.

I'm not sure I understand what you're proposing here, but below you'll find my thoughts. Please let me know if I misunderstood and/or if there's any other parts you find complicated you can point me to, so I can have another look and take action.

With my last push I streamlined get_credentials_from_helpers to explicitly how the configs sections and values are being used. The only other method to get credentials is get_credentials_from_store which, as far as I can tell, is unused. We could either refactor this or get rid of it (as I proposed in another comment).

Hey @jelmer, just a friendly ping: this is ready for review 🙂

sorry about that, looking at it again now

Haven't forgotten about this, will probably put forward a PR with a subset of your changes later this week.

jelmer · 2022-10-23T23:39:52Z

Sorry again for the long delay. As a means of trying to move this forward, I've at least cherry-pick the config-related bits of this PR that are non-controversial.

Hey @jelmer , thanks for taking a look! 🙏 FYI: @dtrifiro broke his clavicle/collarbone and won't be able to reply for a few weeks. If there is anything he needs to address, he'll get back to it once he's recovered.

Ah, thanks - good to know. I hope his recovery goes well!

dtrifiro · 2023-01-12T16:34:25Z

Hey @jelmer, sorry for keeping this hanging so long.

I just rebased and added a new commit to update the get_credentials_from_store to use CredentialHelper.

If you have any other concerns and/or suggestions that would help this get merged, I'd greatly appreciate that.

Thanks!

- add `CredentialHelper` class to run credential helper commands and retrieve values - add `get_credentials_from_helper` to retrieve credentials from helpers defined in provided config - moved (unused) `get_credentials_from_store` to `credentials.py` Also see https://www.git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials fixes jelmer#873
