Will Git converts ${GITHUB_TOKEN} to request header automatically?

I don't think so. We probably need to add some logic in gogs that if we don't find the username, check if the username is actually a token.

Some more info here: https://github.com/blog/1270-easier-builds-and-deployments-using-git-over-https-and-oauth

I want to say that Go looks like cannot get content before @, and it doesn't even say user is using HTTP or HTTPS in *http.Request.

But,

check if the username is actually a token.

I think it would work. 👍

Hi @compressed , thanks for waiting. I've pushed some fixes based on changes you made on #845 . You are also free to try on https://try.gogs.io/

As new mirror release v0.5.13 is going to release, and this issue is labeled as feedback needed, so close it for assumed resolved, feel free to reopen this if you want to continue discussing. 🍺

Please has this feature being added ? Please how do I learn more how to use it to pull .tar from my private repository

@lavvy this was implemented a while ago, based on the code, yes, it has added.

Oh cool. So I am cloning into Jenkins with this url when it's public repo
https://try.gogs.io/lavvy/newproj

And I download tar file with this url
https://try.gogs.io/lavvy/newproj/archive/master.tar.gz

So if it now private repo, how will the urls be ?

@lavvy it is exactly same URL, except you have to be logged in.

You use curl with basic auth through HTTP.

Yeah I mean assessing it from a url for instance Jenkins will access it as
an application. Then if I want to do wget command from Linux , how will the
url be

There is no such that token for a repo, only token for a user

sorry for my english may be we are missing something here.

please reproduce this please here
if you click this
https://try.gogs.io/lavvy/newproj/archive/master.tar.gz
you will download the tar file because that is a PUBLIC repo

BUT :

if you click this
https://try.gogs.io/lavvy/bogons/archive/master.tar.gz

you CANNOT download the tar file because it is a PRIVATE repo

NOW:
my question is
HOW do i insert my token in the second url so that i can download the tar file ?
(REMEMBER I AM ASSESSING WITHOUT A BROWSER THEREFORE I CANNOT LOG IN)

I TRIED THIS
https://try.gogs.io//bogons/archive/master.tar.gz
BUT IT DIDNT WORK

@lavvy well.. I've said you can use basic auth through HTTP(it's not a topic of Gogs, it's HTTP standard)...

you mean like this ?

https://try.gogs.io/lavvy/bogons/archive/master.tar.gz?token=usertoken

I just don't understand why a Google search is so hard... https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24191_01/common/tutorials/authn_http_basic.html

@unknown, am sorry for stressing you out , but please pardon me , i
just discovered this software. And it looks like its relatively new
and quite promising.
Pardon that i couldnt have seen so much of its docs. we are looking to
start using it especially for the private repo feature.
what i am asking for is relatively very simple, i dont know why its
taking this long.
Look at how we get zips or tarballs from private repos from other scm
apps in ubuntu linux command line, for instance;

IN GITHUB :
wget --output-document=.tar.gz
https://api.github.com/repos///tarball/?access_token=

IN GITLAB:
wget https://gitlab.com/api/v3/projects/<project_id>/repository/raw_blobs/<file_id>?private_token=<your_private_token>

IN BITBUCKET :
wget https://bytebucket.org/$username/$repo/raw/$sha/$filename.jpg?token=$sometoken

IN GOGS ;
(please just give me an example url here:
wget________________________________________________________ please )

once again thank you guys for the beautiful job you guys are doing right there

I took some time to test this functionality. I see that it works for git commands, eg:

git clone https://e6503db88f1db7018747fedffd8f3296ce3a01b1@try.gogs.io/u99/pr1

But not for all URLs, for example the below doesn't work:

wget https://e6503db88f1db7018747fedffd8f3296ce3a01b1@try.gogs.io/u99/pr1/archive/master.tar.gz

@lavvy OK. Sorry for poor docs...

I just added allow URL query to pass token value like all of your 3 examples in develop branch, and have updated https://try.gogs.io .

So in your example you need to download a raw blob, here is the example from my local server:

wget http://localhost:3000/api/v1/repos/unknwon/macaron/raw/master/README.md\?token\=7ba8bcfb08c9ca128e475d098b42a815e8ddd5d9

The basic format it:

wget {HOST}/api/v1/repos/{username}/{reponame}/raw/{ref}/{blob path}?token={token}

yeah, thats what i meant . @unknown it now works like charm but i
tried adjusting the string to download a full release like
v0.0.1.tar.gz or master.tar.gz , it didnt work. please could you
support that too, i think it will use the same pattern

meanwhile thanks @vijairaj,

@lavvy yeah, OK, let me see.

OK, on develop and try.gogs.io, you can use following format to download archive:

wget {HOST}/api/v1/repos/{username}/{reponame}/archive/{ref}.{format}?token={token}

example

wget https://try.gogs.io/api/v1/repos/unknwon/macaron/archive/4d7e15f9cb3e636ae685efdee690b6f0b0f2e17a.tar.gz?token=xxx

Pure. So Pure. thumbs up man. this is good so far and keep up the good
work. Maybe i will have to close back the issue and let the sleeping
dog lie.

@lavvy 😉

yeah, real good feature right there @unknwon , but it wasnt easy . you remember u almost gave up yesterday, but u didn't and thats how great guys are born. 👍

Please, looks like this feature is broken or removed or changed . It doesn't work again.
Please is there a different format to download a versioned release from a private repo.

We are attempting to use token based git pushes so that we don't have to send passwords. Does anybody have any tips on using this with git actions such as pushing to gogs?

@klappy I think use access token as username with empty password should work already.

So how do I push throw token?

git push -u https://gogs.erguotou.me/erguotou/gift-pwa.git?token=token master --force

like this?

@erguotou520 no, use token ad username when Git prompts you.
