git_credential_acquire_cb

Version:

Credential acquisition callback.

This callback is usually involved any time another system might need authentication. As such, you are expected to provide a valid git_credential object back, depending on allowed_types (a git_credential_t bitmask).

Note that most authentication details are your responsibility - this callback will be called until the authentication succeeds, or you report an error. As such, it's easy to get in a loop if you fail to stop providing the same incorrect credentials.
