Problem

Cargo gets private gitlab repository code failed，git-credentials not work，write username/password in cargo.toml is ok.

git-credentials not work

$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[credential]
        helper = store

$ cat ~/.git-credentials
http://tensorchen:xxx_mypassword@git.code.oa.com

$ cat Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "xxxxx"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2018"

[dependencies]
l5 = {git = "http://git.code.oa.com/birdio/l5-rs", branch = "master"}

$ cargo build 
    Updating git repository `http://git.code.oa.com/birdio/l5-rs`

write username/password in cargo.toml is ok

I've also often run into this problem, especially when trying to setup authentication inside a CI job for a private rust dependency. It would be super helpful to have a mode of cargo that inherits the users default git credentials rather than having to use the ~/.git-credentials trick.

Solve this problem

$ cat ~/.cargo/config
[net]
git-fetch-with-cli = true

Thanks a lot for this answer!!!
Additionally, Cargo’s configuration is $CARGO_HOME/config. This may matter if you set custom $CARGO_HOME.

$CARGO_HOME/config which defaults to:
Windows: %USERPROFILE%.cargo\config
Unix: $HOME/.cargo/config
