在为 Google Source Repository 调用 git clone over HTTPS 时，有没有办法传递访问令牌

Question

I have been trying to use Google Cloud Functions (python 3.7) to basically clone a Google Source Repository. I'm using GitPython library and the service account for that Cloud Functions has Source Repository Reader access on the repository that I want to clone.

Initially, I tried passing gcloud.sh credential.helper to git config, but it seems that Cloud SDK is not installed on Cloud Functions environment (at least in Python 3.7 environment). Here is a gist of my code:

from git import Repo
import tempfile

def git_clone():
    
    local_repo = tempfile.gettempdir()+'/localrepo'
    repo = Repo.init(local_repo)
    origin = repo.create_remote('origin', 'https://source.developers.google.com/p/PROJECT/r/REPO')

    repo.config_writer().set_value("user", "name", "gsr-to-gcs-backup-function").release()
    repo.config_writer().set_value("user", "email", "gsr-to-gcs-backup-function@PROJECT.iam.gserviceaccount.com").release()
    repo.config_writer().set_value("credential \"https://source.developers.google.com\"", "helper", "gcloud.sh").release()

    assert origin.exists()
    assert origin == repo.remotes.origin == repo.remotes['origin']
    
    origin.fetch()

The function will throw the below error if run on Cloud Functions since by default if there is no credential helper, the https method will ask for Username and Password .

git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128) cmdline: git fetch -v origin stderr: 'fatal: could not read Username for 'https://source.developers.google.com': Input/output error'

I could only find the below answer to pass token along with the git clone command but it doesn't answer how to pass the token:

Clone Google Source Repository without gcloud

If I initiate that command from cloud shell, it will be just hung:

gcloud auth git-helper store --account=YOUR_ACCOUNT --ignore-unknown $@

Here's something similar that I plan to achieve using the above (not a correct code):

Repo.clone_from("https://source.developers.google.com/p/PROJECT/r/REPO",tempfile.gettempdir(), multi_options=['--config credential.helper={}'.format(MYTOKEN)], branch='master')

I don't want to put an SSH key instead as a method to clone as I want to deploy it to production later on and rotating keys would be cumbersome.

Answer 1

The Username that is asked is nothing but the service account address and credentials can be a temporarily generated OAuth 2.0 access token. So, what I ended up doing was:

from git import Repo
import tempfile
import urllib.parse
import google.auth
import google.auth.transport.requests

def get_token():
    creds, project = google.auth.default()
    # creds.valid is False, and creds.token is None
    # # Need to refresh credentials to populate those
    auth_req = google.auth.transport.requests.Request()
    creds.refresh(auth_req)
    # Now you can use creds.token
    return creds.token

def url_parse():
    query = 'gsr-to-gcs-backup-function@PROJECT.iam.gserviceaccount.com'
    return urllib.parse.quote(query)

def git_clone():
    encoded_url = url_parse()
    credentials = get_token()
    
    local_repo = tempfile.gettempdir()+'/localrepo' 
    Repo.clone_from(f"https://{encoded_url}:{credentials}@source.developers.google.com/p/PROJECT/r/REPO",local_repo, branch='master')

def main(*args):
    git_clone()

NOTE: This is only a part of my code. What I want is to copy this to a GCS bucket. But that is out of purview of this question.
