# Luzifer / git-credential-vault

`git-credential-vault` is an implementation of the [Git Credential Storage](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Credential-Storage) utilizing [Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/) as storage backend.

The only supported action is `get` as storage is managed through Vault related tools / the web-UI. The tool expects to find Vault keys per host containing `username` / `password` fields in it. Those fields are then combined with the data received from git and sent back for authentication.

## Expected Vault structure

```
secret/git-credentials
 +- github.com
 |   +- username = api
 |   +- password = verysecrettoken
 +- gitlab.com
     +- username = user
     +- password = anothertoken
```

## Usage

```console
# export VAULT_ADDR=http://localhost:8200
# export VAULT_TOKEN=somesecretvaulttoken
# echo -e "protocol=https\nhost=github.com\n\n" | ./git-credential-vault --vault-path-prefix secret/git-credentials get
host=github.com
username=api
password=myverysecrettoken
protocol=https
```

### Dockerfile example (go get)

In this example the `VAULT_TOKEN` is passed in through a build-arg which means you **MUST** revoke the token before pushing the image, otherwise you will be leaking an active credential!

```Dockerfile
FROM golang:alpine

ARG VAULT_ADDR
ARG VAULT_TOKEN

RUN set -ex \
 && apk --no-cache add git \
 && go get -u -v github.com/Luzifer/git-credential-vault \
 && git config --global credential.helper 'vault --vault-path-prefix secret/git-credentials'

RUN set -ex \
 && go get -v github.com/myuser/secretrepo
```

```console
# docker build --build-arg VAULT_ADDR=${VAULT_ADDR} --build-arg VAULT_TOKEN=${VAULT_TOKEN} --no-cache .
```
