disable interactive prompting

Waiting for git-push synchronously slows me down, so I have a bash alias/function to do this in the background. But when my origin is https, I get an undesired interactive prompt. I've tried to disable by redirecting stdin:

git push ${REMOTE} ${BRANCH} &>/dev/null </dev/null

but I still get an interactive prompt.

Is there a way to either

1. disable interactive prompting
2. programmatically determine whether a git command (or at least a git push) would interactively prompt

$ grv
origin	https://github.com/user/dotemacs (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/user/dotemacs (push)

You left out an important detail: what does the interactive prompt in question say?

The general question is also interesting, but seeing the particular prompt would make it easy to look into the specific case at the same time.

Thanks,
Jonathan

I assume the prompt is for credentials, since that's generally the only thing git-push will prompt for.

Try:

  $ git help git | sed -ne '/PROMPT/,/^$/p'
         GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT
           If this environment variable is set to 0, git will not prompt on
           the terminal (e.g., when asking for HTTP authentication).

Of course that just stops the prompting. If Git needs a credential and you don't provide it, then the push will fail.

For advice on that that, try "git help credentials".
