handle git pull command with username and password when asked in prompt in javascript

To handle git pull command with username and password, we can use the child_process module of Node.js.

The child_process.exec() function allows us to run shell commands from within a Node.js environment and returns a buffer output.

Here's an example code to handle git pull command with username and password:

index.tsx
const { exec } = require('child_process');

const username = 'your_username';
const password = 'your_password';

exec(`echo ${password} | git pull https://${username}@github.com/username/repo.git`, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
    console.log(stdout);
});
319 chars
13 lines

In the above code, exec() function runs the command echo followed by the password and then the git pull command with the username and password. The https protocol is used for authentication.

Note that echoing the password on the command line can be a security vulnerability, consider using environment variables or a different authentication method as needed.
