From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
- No misinformation
- No NSFW content

Interesting.
That's good, but out of scope for a browser, really. Also there shouldn't be passwords in URLs!
It is not out ot scope. Basic auth exists: https://username:password@example.com
I forgot about that. It shouldn't, these days.
It is one of the easier ways to globally configure git auth for private Go packages.
I have this exact use case on a work machine, because the proxy flat refuses to prompt for the login, just goes straight to deny.
I own neither the proxy, nor the steaming heap of code that lives behind it, and I’m grateful for that every single day…
