Subject: git credential cache and sudo
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:43:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAP8UukjW_TeswTHHfiwzc989U+wZMVcHeS1siRF0Rbg5nc3D5w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

When I do sudo git pull, git does not know about my credential cache.

On some servers, when I do a sudo -E git pull, it can find my
credential cache and use it. On other servers, I think the sudo
configuration is stripping the environment, so this doesn't work and I
still have to enter my git credentials.

What environment variables do I need to configure sudo to preserve to
make sudo -E git pull work with my credential cache? Or is there
something else I can pass to git or define to get it to use my
credential cache?

Thanks.
