Protected sources

Hunter can manage access to the package with sources protected by HTTP user-name/password credentials. Such packages should be marked as protected in corresponding hunter.cmake file. Passwords should be set in Hunter passwords file using hunter_http_password function.

Hint for GitHub users

You don’t have to store your personal password in passwords.cmake file. Instead you can generate personal access token and use it as PASSWORD:

hunter_http_password(Foo USERNAME "myname" PASSWORD "123...abc")

Note

Since token used to access private repositories you have to set repo scope (“Full control of private repositories”):
