Repo-local git config ignores cloud template environment variables, uses account-derived identity instead

[wskel]

In Factory cloud environments, the repo-local .git/config is always populated with account-derived values, even when the cloud template defines environment variables intended to override the git identity.

Setup

The cloud template defines custom environment variables for git identity and a setup script that applies them:

git -C "${FACTORY_PROJECT_DIR:-$(pwd)}" config user.name "$MY_GIT_NAME"
git -C "${FACTORY_PROJECT_DIR:-$(pwd)}" config user.email "$MY_GIT_EMAIL"

Current behavior

At runtime, the env vars are present and correct:

$ env | grep MY_GIT
MY_GIT_NAME=First Last
MY_GIT_EMAIL=12345678+user@users.noreply.github.com

But .git/config contains different, account-derived values:

[user]
    name = user
    email = user@example.com

Root cause (from build logs)

The setup script runs during the image build, but the custom template env vars do not appear to be available at that point -- only platform-level vars (FACTORY_API_BASE_URL, ENABLE_SENTRY, FACTORY_ENV) are injected. The repo clone also happens during the build. So either:

• the template env vars are empty during the build-time setup step, or
• a later runtime step overwrites .git/config with account-derived defaults regardless

Impact

Every commit in a provisioned environment uses the wrong identity. The only workaround is manually running git config each session.

Environment

• Droid v0.89.0
• Linux (Factory cloud environment)
