Description

We have a custom_build and local_resource that call out to git fetch. These builds cause Tilt to hang if the user has cloned in https or their ssh key has a passcode because it will wait forever for user input. It would be nice to be able to allow users to respond to these prompts at build time.

Research direction

Start by locating the custom_build and local_resource handling and the code that invokes git fetch. Determine how build-time input could be surfaced instead of leaving the build waiting indefinitely. Done means builds using HTTPS credentials or passphrase-protected SSH keys can receive user responses without hanging.
