Description
I get LibGit2Sharp.LibGit2SharpException:“too many redirects or authentication replays” when I push the repository.
I use username&&password in CredentialsProvider
using var repo = new Repository(rootPath);
var options = new PushOptions
{
CredentialsProvider = (url, user, cred) =>
new UsernamePasswordCredentials { Username = userName, Password = password },
};
var remoteName = "origin";
var remote = repo.Network.Remotes.FirstOrDefault(r => r.Name == remoteName);
if (remote == null)
{
repo.Network.Remotes.Add(remoteName, res);
}
var branch = repo.Branches["main"];
if (branch == null)
{
branch = repo.CreateBranch("main");
}
repo.Branches.Update(branch, b => b.Remote = remoteName, b => b.UpstreamBranch = branch.CanonicalName);
repo.Network.Push(branch, options);
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Begin at the PushOptions.CredentialsProvider and repo.Network.Push calls shown in the report, then reproduce the push with the stated username and password setup. Compare the resulting redirect or authentication behavior with the configured remote; done requires identifying a reproducible cause and corrective change, but the issue names no source file or test target.
