Question

I have got github ssh details to get the client project, i never worked on github before. So sorry for this stupid question. I Have ssh keys(public,private which was generated under filezila from my system – ubuntu 10.04) and client has added those keys into his repos. And he has given commiting url from github to my system.

I have installed and made a test project under my account in github with the ubuntu system. But not able to commit the client work.

His url is somthing like this,

ssh://[e-mail]:/home/git/project.git

how can i commit this project files,

i guess i have to add those ssh private,public keys under this github installation but i dont know how to add. Please help me.

Answer 1

1. Add an SSH key to your github account, see their help page for more information. Make sure to test that it’s been set up properly.
2. Ask your friend to add you as a collaborator to the project: Project page -> Admin -> Collaborators.

3. Clone the repo at home and have fun committing! The URL will look something like this:

   [e-mail]:USERNAME/PROJECTNAME.git
   

   So example on linux:

   git clone [e-mail]:USERNAME/PROJECTNAME.git
