Hi all, 

I am developing a Git Server using JGit. So I extended org.eclipse.jgit.http.server.GitServlet. I can clone the repository but whenever want to push my local repo back to the server git returns the following error: Authentication failed for 'http://localhost:8080/TestRepo/' 

So how can I implement an authentication mechanism for GitServlet to accept credentials? (both on push and clone/fetch operations).

in the same way you would add authentication to another Java web application running

on some servlet container e.g.

https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-security.html

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/realm-howto.html
