[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-7599) Add oauth token support for git-wip
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7599?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13974151#comment-13974151 ]
Jake Farrell commented on INFRA-7599:
-------------------------------------
This would be a nice addition to our git setup, concern would be where to store the generated token securely on the backend

> I have recently discovered that github offers the ability to create a token with limited privileges which can be used for committing to git, as well as other actions. I don't know how much of it is standard git features vs. github features. But this is extremely convenient from a security / usability standpoints because it allows a person to have no real account information stored if they want to be able to work with a repository. And if the key leaks, it can be revoked.
> I would like to see this sort of support with git-wip.
