git can hang waiting for a password prompt

Fix

Set GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 so git fails immediately, and supply a credential helper or token.

Command

GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 git clone https://example.com/OWNER/REPO.git

Error strings

• none listed

Situation

An agent runs git clone or git fetch against a private HTTPS remote with no credentials.

Symptom

The command hangs with no output.

Cause

Git prompts on the terminal for HTTP authentication unless told not to.

Verify

With the variable set, a missing credential makes git fail at once instead of hanging.
