pre-commit authenticating to gitlab

Question

I'm new to SQLFluff and am interested in a pre-commit check of changed files for rule violations. SQLFluff is working correctly, and to get it working with pre-commit I'm following the guide found here, but am confused by pre-commit asking for git credentials before doing anything.

After entering a commit message, I see:

[INFO] Initializing environment for *my gitlab URL*

Username for '*my gitlab URL*':

My org does everything through SSO so I don't have the password to give. No guide or blog post detailing the set up of pre-commit (at least that I can find) shows or says anything about credentials or configuring authentication. Running pre-commit against a file using a terminal command yields the same result. From what I understand, the provided SQLFluff hooks are client side, so I don't know why authenticating to gitlab would be necessary. I feel like I am missing something obvious, but I've done my searching and came up short. Much thanks to anybody who can tell me what I'm missing!

please show your configuration -- I suspect you're not following the directions and instead incorrectly listing your own repository instead of the sqlfluff one – Dermatosis

You are absolutely correct, I had added my own git address on autopilot. Changing it to the proper URL got me a step further...now I'm investigating why .pre-commit-hooks.yaml is not being created. I've followed the steps listed on the official install page but no luck yet. – Inotropic

Looks like I needed to run pre-commit autoupdate to get that file. – Inotropic

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. – Highpressure

In my case when trying flake8 on pre-commit, I had same issue, my configuration file was trying to get the repo from gitlab. Changing that to github solved the issue. Hope that would help!

Thanks. That's weird that they have different implementation for Github and GitLab. – Govern

Thank you, this solved it also for me. I found more explanation here: reddit.com/r/Python/comments/yvfww8/… – Translucent
