💖 Git::Raw::Cred 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Git::Raw::Cred(3pm) — that's the page name, it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and no, it is not boring, it's the lil holder for your creds ✨

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.90 — yes she's got a version, she's official 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

A Git::Raw::Cred object is literally just the place where credentials live. That's the whole job. She holds them. Iconic behavior. 🫶

⚠️ WARNING: the API of this module is unstable and may change without warning. Not me being flaky — it's documented! Any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog, so no cap, you'll know. 💀

✨ METHODS ✨

🌈 userpass( $user, $pass )

Makes a brand new credential object out of the username and password you hand her. Classic. Simple. Slays. 💅

🔑 sshkey( $user, $public, $private [, $pass ] )

Builds a new credential object from an SSH public and private key file, plus optionally the password of the private key ($pass). 🌸

🚨 Heads up: if SSH support was not enabled at build-time, this method will always return undef. Like, always. Don't fight it.

🧚 sshagent( $user )

Creates a new credential object whose whole personality is querying an ssh-agent. 💜

🚨 Same deal: if SSH support wasn't enabled at build-time, this method will always return undef. Periodt.

💬 sshinteractive( $user, $callback )

Creates a new credential object based on interactive authentication. Here's the vibe: that $callback gets invoked when the remote-side issues a challenge. 👀

It receives these parameters: $name, $instruction and @prompts. And yes — any of the parameters passed to the callback may be undef. Anything can be undef. It's giving chaos but it's fine. 🙈

Each $prompt entry inside @prompts is a hash reference that may contain:

  • "text" — the text for the prompt 💌
  • "echo" — a parameter indicating whether the response of the challenge is safe to be echoed. So if that says no, do NOT be out here echoing it, bestie 😭

The callback should return a list of responses, one for each prompt. One. For. Each. Prompt. 🎯

🚨 And (you guessed it) if SSH support was not enabled at build-time, this method will always return undef. 💀
