GitLab CLI glab config get user --host fallback $USER v1.92.0 issue 8237
💡 Result:
| 1 | **Issue #8237** reports that in **glab v1.90.0**, `glab config get user --host <host>` could return the machine’s `$USER` environment variable instead of the host-specific `user` value. The issue says the fix was merged and the bug was resolved in **glab v1.92.0**: `user` is mapped to `GLAB_USER`, preventing `$USER` from shadowing the host setting. ([gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli/-/work_items/8237?utm_source=openai)) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | So if you’re seeing this on v1.92.0, the issue itself doesn’t establish why; it may be worth checking the exact command and configuration. By default, `glab config get` checks environment variables before config files, while `--host` selects a per-host setting.

Require host-specific evidence before refining the remote.
glab versions before v1.92.0 can return $USER for glab config get user --host. This code treats any successful, non-empty stdout as proof that the requested host is GitLab. The discovery flow does not enforce a minimum glab version, so an unrelated remote can be misclassified when an older glab version is installed. Gate this refinement on glab v1.92.0 or later, or use an offline check that proves the requested host has its own configuration entry.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @Exotic209093
EVerified against glab #8237 and historical config/login source. A version gate alone would still allow GLAB_USER overrides. The follow-up instead reads api_host locally and requires its normalized host to match the selected remote. This keeps one offline probe and rejects nonempty unrelated/global/legacy username values. Added mismatched-host and legacy-output regressions; all 57 focused tests pass. Manual entries missing api_host remain conservatively unknown, documented in the PR.
C@Exotic209093 Thanks for the clarification and fix. The supplied code now reads api_host and requires its normalized host to match the selected remote. This addresses the finding without a version gate or a network probe.
Leaving manual entries without api_host unknown is a conservative fallback.

| 5 | Learning: In packages/source-control-gitlab/src/server/GitLabSourceControlProvider.ts, a glab version gate alone does not make `config get user --host` host-specific evidence because GLAB_USER can override the value. Unknown-remote discovery uses one offline `config get api_host --host` probe and requires a successful result whose normalized host matches the selected remote. Manual configuration entries without api_host remain unknown by design. |
