When I tried to clone a Git repository from my Ubuntu laptop over SSH, the server asked for the git user’s password. I already had an Ed25519 public key on the laptop. Here is how to authorize that key on the server so Git can use it instead of asking for the remote account password.
git clone git@git.developernote.com:~/repositories/tradeclient.git
Cloning into 'tradeclient'...
git@git.developernote.com's password:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "winappdev@gmail.com"
# /home/dmitriano/.ssh/id_rsa_github
# and empty passphrase
nano .ssh/config
Host github.com
HostName github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github
stat -c %a ~/.ssh/config
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
Below I provided the key steps for opening a project in MS Visual Studio 2013 from a Git repository.
First, go to TOOLS->Options->Source Control and select Microsoft Git Provider:
Git is a good alternative for developers who need a version control supported on both Windows and Linux platforms. Below I provided basic steps for installing Git on Ubuntu 12.04 and enabling HTTP access to the repositories with Nginx web server.
First, we need to install Nginx and Git packages:
apt-get install nginx git
by default Nginx processes will run as www-data, (check “user” keyword in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf configuration file). Git installation has not created any user yet.
Git installs as a normal package on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git |
Configuring Git user is an optional step:
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"git config --global user.name "Your Name" |
Type the following command to create an empty repository wherever your code is:
cd ~git init |
