Hi,

I'm using your git module and ran into an issue. I use IsRepoURLAccessible and with a non-existing repository from github e.g. https://github.com/rikvdh/non-existing.git, I get a prompt on the command-line Username for 'https://github.com':

For server applications this is not desirable, probably it requires some Git configuration since the function is pretty straight-forward. Any ideas?

You have to login before you do any operations.

@lunny That is not the problem. I'm creating a application where users enter a URI to a repo, I want to check if this is a valid repo. When entering a non-existing repo from github I do not expect interactive prompts on the server-side.

But that's what GitHub responds when you are asking for a repo that is not public available, also for non-existant repos.

I know, github requests authorization in the Http reponse, but perhaps there is a way (via environment variable e.g.) to disable interactive Git prompts here?

A solution to this is to add "-c", "core.askpass=true" to the git commandline, this disables the askpass program to prompt interactively. Only this might not work on for example Windows.
