shell - Git clone with password @

Question

I need to escape the @ that use the password because it is confused with the host.

Example 1: git clone https://user:p@[email protected]/user/repo.git

When I run the above example, it's wrong, because as the password has @ he understands that the next parameter is the host. tried to escape with or you can use the url between "" but it was not.

Example 2: (echo user; echo p@ssword) | git clone https://github.com/usuario/repo.git

When I use only the command,git clone https://github.com/usuario/repo.git he asks the User and Password, so I used the above command, which is the same that I use to change the root password on a line only.

Answer 1

I think what you are looking is to escape the special character @, which you can use encode %40 instead of @. This link might help Escape @ character in git proxy password
