Hi List,
Just wondering if there is an environment variable I can use to tell git or ssh what user name to use for the ssh transport?
I would normally use git clone ssh://myname@example.com/repo.git
but I'm cloning to a relatively public network drive (corporate overlords don't want git no mater what I say) so I want to do something like GIT_SSH_USER=myname git clone ssh://example.com/repo.git
So that my user name doesn't show in the resulting remote.origin.url
I know I can probably just remove my user name from the config after the the fact but I have to do this for a few repos so I thought I'd ask if there was a magic environment variable I could set.
Thanks.
