First up, give this StackOverflow question a very very good read, and ask yourself if you really really want to walk down this treacherous path.
- Working on a project.
- Have no access to Git server.
- People with access did not give SSH access (yet).
- Somehow
_netrcand Windows Git Credential did not work. - Sick of typing passwords on every
git pull. - AHK is the easiest language available on system to code GUI.
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Project Path | C:\ |
The path to your Git project that you would like to execute commands to. |
| Git Command | git pull |
The string of command you would like to execute. Do note that you can use && to chain commands. |
| Git Username | Username |
The username for the Git repository. This will most likely be left blank for most of the time, included it just because. |
| Git Password | Password |
The password for the Git repository. |
| Repeat | 1 | The number of times you want to repeat the username/password for long, chained commands. |
| CMD Prompt | cmd.exe |
Choose between using Windows CMD or Git Bash. |
| Exit after command completed? | False | Close console after command completion, regardless of error or success. |
AHK was not exactly designed for CLI use, but since I spend more time on CLI, I decided to make this as well.
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| username | Username |
The username for the Git repository. This will most likely be left blank for most of the time, included it just because. |
| password | Password |
The password for the Git repository. |
| prompt | cmd.exe |
Choose between using Windows CMD (cmd.exe) or Git Bash (bash.exe). |
| force | False | Close console after command completion, regardless of error or success (0 or 1). |

This was written with non-destructive Git commands in mind. If one decides to type in
rm -rf ./* && git push --forcein the Git Command field, then it will be executed. No filters, no safenets. -
It will create a
settings.inifile to store all previous inputs, including the Git Password. Which means the password security is as good as plain text. I did mention something about being treacherous.
-
As mentioned, the
settings.iniwill store all previous inputs. It is to prevent typing in the fields again on the next startup. The Git Command field in GUI is more unique, as it will store the previous 20 commands. -
If
bash.exeis selected, it will attempt to openbash.exeinC:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe. This should be accurate if Git is installed with the right architecture (32 bit or 64 bit). -
