Passphrase request when comparing two branches

[Crystal-szj]

Hi @SarahAlidoost and @BSchilperoort,
I'm working with compare_git_branch_results.ipynb, which updates two branches to their latest versions and compares the results. However, when I run

!cd $path_to_repository; git checkout $main_branch; git pull
!cd $path_to_repository; git checkout $test_branch; git pull

The passphrase is requested:

Enter passphrase for key '/home/songz/.ssh/id_ed25519'

but it seems that there is no way to enter the password in a Jupyter notebook.

Currently, I manually git pull twice to sync my local branches with Github.

Do you know of any smart alternatives or solutions for this? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

@Crystal-szj If you do once git pull and enter the passphrase in a terminal, you can run the test notebook even if the notebook asks for the passphrase. But I agree it is not ideal. We need to refactor the test notebook. I will convert your question to an issue.
