This scirpt is git subcommand credential-bitwarden which manages git credential using Bitwarden CLI.

I personally use Bitwarden to manage my credentials. So I'd like to store GitHub access key using Bitwarden on my Linux PC.

For macOS, there is an embedded integration credential-osxkeychain in Git command but it doesn't work on Linux.

The command is called by git bommand if needed.

To use the integration, you have to configure valid BW_SESSION environment variable.

The BW_SESSION value can be obtained/configured by the following commands.

$ bw login
$ bw unlock

...

$ export BW_SESSION="....."

• Python 3 (Tested by Python 3.7)
• Bitwarden CLI (https://github.com/bitwarden/cli)
• Valid BW_SESSION environment valiable

If you don't have proper directory to install, the following commands will work.

$ mkdir ${HOME}/bin
$ export ${HOME}/bin:${PATH} >> ${HOME}/.bashrc
$ source .bashrc

Download the file git-credential-bitwarden.

$ curl -o ${HOME}/bin/git-credential-bitwarden https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superdaigo/git-credential-bitwarden/master/git-credential-bitwarden

$ chmod +x ${HOME}/bin/git-credential-bitwarden

$ git config --global credential.helper bitwarden

$ rm ${HOME}/bin/git-credential-bitwarden

$ git config --global --unset credential.helper

You might be able to remove ${HOME}/bin directory and PATH configuration from your ${HOME}/.bashrc file.

• Need to unlock and reregister BW_SESSION after the expiration.
• The command is slow.
