Hello,
I am currently evaluating Bamboo on a test server I have created (Windows 7). I am using Git for the source control, and have setup the source repository for our git server. The authentication has been setup to require a username and password. To get around having to enter these details, we have been using a .netrc file with the authentication credentials. Git is able to find the .netrc/_netrc file as long as it sits in a folder under the environment variable HOME.
Is there a way to define the HOME variable for Bamboo to use when calling git? The Bamboo global variables won't help as they are referenced as ${bamboo.HOME} while git is expecting ${HOME}.
Directly entering my username and password in the git settings returns an empty response from the server, which I can reproduce from the command line in git by using the username:password@server repository connection url.
This is the output from running git on command line:

Ok, I solved this for myself. The HOME environment variable had been set as a user variable, not system variable. Because Bamboo is run as the SYSTEM account on a Windows machine service, it was not able to see the user environment variable. Setting the HOME as a system variable made it available to Bamboo.
