+## 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
+```
