phabricator diffusion git username password for git fetch

With a Phabricator server installed, I am trying to add a git private repo to be used in Diffusion and in Differential for code review. I added a git repo on the Phabricator web console and was able to manually clone the repo on the server. With that am able to browse via diffusion.

But subsequent git fetch as part of the PhabricatorRepositoryPullLocalDaemon fails with

stderr:fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address error: Could not fetch origin

I tried following:

I added my credentials that I used to git clone to git config --global list and can see it in .gitconfig file in the user home dir (in this case root)

I also added a .netrc file in root home dir containing 

machine github.com
login <username>
password <password

Please let me know what am I missing. Any help much appreciated.

Solution

  • Fixed it.

    saw this in daemon.log 

    COMMAND
HOME='/phabricator/support/empty/' git clone --origin origin 'https://github.com/

    added to the above HOME dir .gitconfig with username password
