From e652c0eb5d772076f92245c7e076bf6aaf6af223 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 22:52:29 -0500 Subject: prompt: respect GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT to disable terminal prompts If you run git as part of an automated system, you might prefer git to die rather than try to issue a prompt on the terminal (because there would be nobody to see it and respond, and the process would hang forever). This usually works out of the box because getpass() (and our more featureful replacements) will fail when there is no tty, but this does not cover all cases. For example, a batch system run via ssh might have a tty, even when the user does not expect it. Let's provide an environment variable the user can set to avoid even trying to touch the tty at all.
