Git authentication tools for Google Compute Engine

The git-cookie-authdaemon uses the GCE metadata server to acquire an OAuth2 access token and configures git to always present this OAuth2 token when connecting to googlesource.com or Google Cloud Source Repositories.

Setup

Launch the GCE VMs with the gerritcodereview scope requested, for example:

gcloud compute instances create \
  --scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gerritcodereview \
  ...

Installation

Install the daemon within the VM image and start it running:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gcompute-tools/
./gcompute-tools/git-cookie-authdaemon

The daemon launches itself into the background and continues to keep the OAuth2 access token fresh.
