In git2-rs, how do I authenticate when cloning?

How do I pass an authentication callback to git2::Repository::clone()? (set_remote_callbacks sets up the callbacks).

I have some code like the following:

let mut cb = git2::RemoteCallbacks::new();
Self::set_remote_callbacks(&mut cb);
let rr = Repository::clone(url, path.to_str().ok_or("bad string".to_string())?);

What I want is like, as an example, when I do I fetch, I do this, which passes my callbacks to the fetch:

let mut fetchOptions = FetchOptions::new();
let mut cb = git2::RemoteCallbacks::new();
Self::set_remote_callbacks(&mut cb);
fetchOptions.remote_callbacks(cb);
let mut remote = self.repo.find_remote(remote)?;
remote.fetch(&[branch], Some(&mut fetchOptions), None)?;
Solution

  • Use git2::build::RepoBuilder.
