Documentation

List of functions to try in sequence to get a password.

These functions may be called when git asks for a password, which is detected using magit-process-password-prompt-regexps. They are called if and only if matching the prompt resulted in the value of the 99th submatch to be non-nil. Therefore users can control for which prompts these functions should be called by putting the host name in the 99th submatch, or not.

If the functions are called, then they are called in the order given, with the host name as only argument, until one of them returns non-nil. If they are not called or none of them returns non-nil, then the password is read from the user instead.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in magit version 2.3.0.
