# essay

Personal essay repository.

## Getting started

- Clone: `git clone http://100.66.1.6:13000/liam/essay.git`
- Add content, then commit and push.

## Non-interactive HTTP push (credential helper)

If you're in an environment without an interactive TTY, `git push` over HTTP can fail because Git
cannot prompt for a username/password. You can pre-load credentials using a credential helper.

Notes:

- Do not hardcode passwords in remotes.
- `credential.helper store` saves credentials in plaintext. Prefer a token if your Git server supports it.

Steps:

```bash
# 1) Make sure the remote URL includes the username
git remote set-url origin http://liam@100.66.1.6:13000/liam/essay.git

# 2) Enable a credential helper
git config --global credential.helper "store --file ~/.git-credentials"

# 3) Approve credentials (replace with your own password/token)
cat > /tmp/git-cred <<'EOF'
protocol=http
host=100.66.1.6:13000
username=liam
password=YOUR_PASSWORD_OR_TOKEN
EOF
git credential approve < /tmp/git-cred
rm -f /tmp/git-cred

# 4) Push without prompting
GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 git push -u origin main
```

Cleanup (recommended for shared/temporary machines):

```bash
rm -f ~/.git-credentials
git config --global --unset credential.helper
```
