[cmd/argocd-git-ask-pass/commands/argocd_git_ask_pass.go:49](https://github.com/check-spelling-sandbox/argo-cd/blob/4014cc8b040f55dc698295d658cf0eb780ea7203/cmd/argocd-git-ask-pass/commands/argocd_git_ask_pass.go#L49-L49)
```go
case strings.HasPrefix(os.Args[1], "Username"):
fmt.Println(creds.Username)
case strings.HasPrefix(os.Args[1], "Password"):
fmt.Println(creds.Password)
flows to a logging call.
CodeQL
default:
errors.CheckError(fmt.Errorf("unknown credential type '%s'", os.Args[1]))
}
```
It's true, this code is printing a password, that's its *job*. it's a [git `credential.helper`](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials) program.
This isn't "logging" a password, it's intentionally "printing" the password.
How does one tell CodeQL that this is intended behavior? Is the only real option to wait for https://github.com/github/codeql/issues/11427?
The help should say:
```html
Be aware that the purpose of some programs is to print output.
Do not file tickets complaining about programs doing their jobs, it will not win you any warm fuzzies.
```
