Credentials Extension
This is an extension for Mercurial 5.6 or later, allowing you to store HTTP passwords securely. The extension itself does not offer any commands, you simply enable it, and get an extra prompt:
$ hg pull pulling from https://example.com/private/repo http authorization required for https://example.com/private/repo realm: Mercurial user: me password: <SECRET> would you like to save this password? (Y/n) y searching for changes no changes found
That would result an a new item named in your key chain or key ring:
Mercurial (me@example.com)
Once a password is saved, there’s nothing more to do. You’ll get a new prompt, should the password suddenly stop working. To manage or delete your passwords, use the Keychain Services application included with macOS, GNOME Keyring or something similar included in your desktop environment.
Requirements
Python 3.6 or later.
Mercurial 5.6 or later.
SecretStorage on platforms other than macOS.
Windows is not supported, yet.
Installation and usage
Install the extension and its dependencies with Pip:
$ pip install .
Then, add the following lines to your ~/.hgrc:
[extensions] credentials =
To avoid entering passwords for each and every repository, use auth.schemes:
[auth] example.prefix = example.com example.username = me
This will cause all repositories on https://example.com to resolve to the same Keychain item. See hg help config.auth for details.
Alternatives
The most obvious alternative to this extension is the Mercurial Keyring extension. It supports older versions of Mercurial and more backends, but saves passwords in a less readable fashion.
Future plans
Consider whether it makes sense to implement a completely custom urllib2 password manager, so passwords aren’t stored in memory any longer than strictly necessary.
Acknowledgements
Thanks you to Octobus and Heptapod for hosting this project, and for making Mercurial development fun again!
