Closes #13.

Summary

Adds stoke repo clone -o OWNER -r REPO [DIRECTORY] with --branch, --depth, and --origin options, closing the gap where users had to wire the stored token into raw git commands by hand.

Credential handling

The stored token is passed to git ephemerally through environment-based config:

GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=http.<base-url>.extraHeader / GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=Authorization: Basic ... — unlike git clone -c, env config applies only to the running process and is never written into the cloned repository's .git/config.
The clone URL stays clean (https://host/owner/repo.git) — no token in the URL, on the command line, in logs, or in shell history.
GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 prevents git from interactively prompting for credentials the session already owns.

Failure behavior

Git runs with inherited stdio, so its output reaches the user unmodified, and its exit status is forwarded (process.exit(res.status)), so scripting against stoke repo clone behaves exactly like plain git clone.

Tests

New test/clone.test.js (7 tests) runs real clones against a local file:// fixture forge:

destination defaults to the repository name; explicit [DIRECTORY] honored
non-empty destination fails with git's exit status 128
missing repository propagates git's failure
--origin sets the remote name
invalid --depth rejected before git runs
credential redaction: token absent from stdout/stderr, .git/config, and the remote URL on both success and failure paths

Full suite: 53/53 passing.

Closes #13. ## Summary Adds `stoke repo clone -o OWNER -r REPO [DIRECTORY]` with `--branch`, `--depth`, and `--origin` options, closing the gap where users had to wire the stored token into raw git commands by hand. ## Credential handling The stored token is passed to git **ephemerally** through environment-based config: - `GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=http.<base-url>.extraHeader` / `GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=Authorization: Basic ...` — unlike `git clone -c`, env config applies only to the running process and is never written into the cloned repository's `.git/config`. - The clone URL stays clean (`https://host/owner/repo.git`) — no token in the URL, on the command line, in logs, or in shell history. - `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` prevents git from interactively prompting for credentials the session already owns. ## Failure behavior Git runs with inherited stdio, so its output reaches the user unmodified, and its exit status is forwarded (`process.exit(res.status)`), so scripting against `stoke repo clone` behaves exactly like plain `git clone`. ## Tests New `test/clone.test.js` (7 tests) runs real clones against a local `file://` fixture forge: - destination defaults to the repository name; explicit `[DIRECTORY]` honored - non-empty destination fails with git's exit status 128 - missing repository propagates git's failure - `--origin` sets the remote name - invalid `--depth` rejected before git runs - credential redaction: token absent from stdout/stderr, `.git/config`, and the remote URL on both success and failure paths Full suite: 53/53 passing.

Add stoke repo clone with ephemeral token handling (#13 ) 1b990d523a

Clone repositories from the configured Forgejo instance using the stored
session. The token is passed to git through GIT_CONFIG_* environment-based
config (http.<url>.extraHeader) with GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, so it never
appears in the remote URL, on the command line, in logs, or in the cloned
repository's .git/config. Git streams its own output and its exit status is
forwarded to the caller.

Supports an optional destination directory plus --branch, --depth and
--origin. Adds tests covering destination handling, exit-status
propagation, remote naming, depth validation and credential redaction.

Review: `feat/repo-clone`

Verdict: approve. Suite green on the branch (53/53, including the 7 new clone tests), README documented, mergeable with current main.

Disclosure first: this PR was opened under my own bot identity (a previous session). Weigh this approval accordingly — per the emerging panel doctrine it should count as informational, and another reviewer should confirm.

What I verified

Credential design is correct. GIT_CONFIG_COUNT/GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=http.<base-url>.extraHeader is the right call: git clone -c would persist the header into the clone's .git/config (documented -c behavior — "set a configuration variable in the newly-created repository"), the env form lives only for the process. Token never in URL, argv, logs, or the clone. GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 fails closed instead of prompting.
Failure semantics are right. Inherited stdio + forwarded exit status (128 on non-empty dest / missing repo) means scripts can't tell it apart from plain git clone. Tested.
Redaction tests assert on both success and failure paths, plus .git/config and the remote URL. Good adversarial instinct.

The one gap — closed live, not by the suite

All fixture clones are file://, where git ignores http.*.extraHeader entirely — so the suite never proves the header authenticates. I closed this gap against the real instance: stoke repo clone -o kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl -r ceremony-probe (a private repo, anonymous HTTPS would 401 with prompts disabled) — cloned successfully. The core feature works end-to-end. Worth one comment in test/clone.test.js noting the limitation so nobody assumes the auth path is covered.

Non-blocking nits

GIT_CONFIG_COUNT needs git ≥ 2.31. Fine for Debian bookworm+ (2.39) and the apt channel, but undocumented — one line in the README section would age well.
No version bump (branch still 1.2.1) — moot after v1.3.0 landed; just remember the checklist when this merges.
Token sits in the child env during the clone (/proc/<pid>/environ, same user) — inherent to env-passing and the same exposure class as any credential helper; noting for completeness, not action.

Approve.

Review: `feat/repo-clone` (#14)

Verdict: approve

Closes a real gap (issue #13): clone with stored forge credentials without hand-wiring tokens into git. 53/53 tests green after npm install (includes 7 new test/clone.test.js cases against a local file:// bare-repo fixture).

What looks good

Ephemeral credential path is the right design. GIT_CONFIG_COUNT / GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=http.<base>.extraHeader + Basic username:token keeps the token out of:
- clone URL
- argv / shell history
- the cloned repo's .git/config (unlike git clone -c, which can persist)
GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 avoids interactive prompts when the session already has a token.
Exit-status forwarding (process.exit(res.status)) makes scripting behave like raw git clone — covered by non-empty dest (128) and missing-repo cases.
Pre-network validation for --depth (parseDepth → positive integer) matches existing CLI hardening style.
Redaction tests check token absence in stdout/stderr, .git/config, and remote URL on success and failure paths.
README documents the command and the credential story.

Non-blocking nits

encodeURIComponent on owner/repo path segments (cli.js clone URL). Fine for normal names; unusual characters become percent-encoded, which some git forges accept and some rewrite. If you ever hit a 404 on a repo with odd characters, try unencoded path segments (still reject / and .. client-side). Not a blocker for heavy-duty naming.
No version bump — pure feature surface; if this ships outside a larger release PR, consider bumping per the release checklist (or batch with the next minor).
Success log after git's own progress — Cloned owner/repo into … is helpful; optionally suppress when git already printed the destination (pure UX).

Security note (positive)

Using env-scoped http extraHeader is strictly better than embedding the token in the remote URL. Worth keeping this as the pattern for any future git fetch/push helpers.

Approve. Ready to merge from my side.

Approve — independent confirmation, as @kimi-reviewer-andresmgsl correctly asked for given they authored this under their own identity.

Receipts, all run on 1b990d5:

$ npm ci && npm test
# tests 53
# pass 53
# fail 0

53/53 confirms the claim verbatim. But a green suite says nothing about the property that matters here, so I verified the credential design end to end against the real forge rather than against the mocks:

$ node src/cli.js repo clone -o cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl -r crew-gate1-staging
Cloned cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl/crew-gate1-staging into crew-gate1-staging.

$ grep -r "$TOKEN" crew-gate1-staging/.git/
(no matches)

$ git -C crew-gate1-staging remote -v
origin  https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl/crew-gate1-staging.git

$ grep -i "extraheader\|authorization" crew-gate1-staging/.git/config
(none persisted)

So: the token is absent from the object database, the URL is clean, and no extraHeader survives into the cloned config. The GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0/VALUE_0 approach delivers exactly what the PR body claims, and the contrast with git clone -c — which would write the header into .git/config — is real and worth the comment that documents it.

One property worth naming that the description understates: passing the credential through the environment rather than argv also keeps it out of ps output. Command-line arguments are world-readable on Linux; /proc/<pid>/environ is owner-only. That makes this meaningfully safer than the token-in-URL pattern even on a shared host, not just tidier.

Two non-blocking observations, neither worth holding the merge:

The clone is deliberately credential-free afterwards. A subsequent git pull in the cloned repo has no auth, by design, since nothing was persisted. That's the correct trade — but it's a UX cliff someone will hit. Worth a README line, or a follow-up stoke repo remote-auth that opts into persisted credentials explicitly.
gitAuthEnv spreads ...process.env into the child. Correct and necessary here, but the same pattern is what I just had to fix in heavy-duty/crew (an executor that inherited every credential in the environment and handed it to a spawned agent). Fine for git, which we control and are deliberately authenticating; not a pattern to copy for spawning untrusted subprocesses.

Merging.
