InfiniGit CLI
Browser-linked command-line authentication for InfiniGit.
# or: npm install --global infinigit-cli
The CLI uses icp identity link web to obtain an Internet Identity delegation
for the InfiniGit app origin, stores the session key using ICP CLI's selected
storage backend, and configures Git to select that identity only for InfiniGit
operations. It requires git and icp on PATH.
Browser-linked login sessions use the system keyring by default. Independently
linked CLI devices default to local plaintext key storage so pairing works
without a desktop Secret Service or another password. Treat the key file like
an SSH private key: the linked principal is separately revocable from InfiniGit
account settings and receives only the repository access approved during
pairing. Use --storage keyring or --storage password to opt into either
protected backend when desired.
If a device-link attempt creates the named identity but is interrupted before
printing a pairing code, repeat it with --reuse-existing. This flag is
explicit so InfiniGit never silently adopts an unrelated ICP identity.
Device linking targets the ICP mainnet (ic) and its root key by default. Until
the production directory canister is deployed, pass its canister ID with
--directory. For local development, start-local.sh prints a complete command
using INFINIGIT_LOCAL_DEV=1. This opt-in reads the directory ID, replica URL,
and root-key policy configured by the launcher. Explicit --directory,
--network, and --root-key flags still take precedence.
link-device instead creates an independent local key and prints a short-lived
pairing code. Review that code in the website settings to attach the device to
your existing account with repository read/write access. Use --read-only for
a clone-only device. The device key can be revoked without affecting Internet
Identity or other machines.
Releases
See PUBLISHING.md for registry setup, versioning, publishing, verification, and partial-release recovery.
Tags named v<version> publish the crate and npm package and attach native
Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries to a GitHub Release. Keep the versions in
Cargo.toml and package.json identical before tagging. The release
environment needs a CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN secret. npm trusted publishing should
authorize infinigit-labs/infinigit-cli and .github/workflows/release.yml;
an NPM_TOKEN secret can bootstrap the first publication.
