Direct Known Subclasses:

ChainingCredentialsProvider, NetRCCredentialsProvider, UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider

public abstract class CredentialsProvider
extends Object

Provide credentials for use in connecting to Git repositories. Implementors are strongly encouraged to support at least the minimal CredentialItem.Username and CredentialItem.Password items. More sophisticated implementors may implement additional types, such as CredentialItem.StringType. CredentialItems are usually presented in bulk, allowing implementors to combine them into a single UI widget and streamline the authentication process for an end-user.
