    If you have two different ways of interacting with the remote repository, one of which requires a password (for pushing) and one of which doesn’t (for pulling) you can do this:

    [remote "origin"]
    # the lightweight git protocol doesn't use passwords
    # this will be used for fetch/pull
    url = "git://git.foobar.org/foobar"

    # this line is there by default; don't mess with it
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    # SO, that's not a C comment... */

    # ssh requires password/key
    # this will be used for pushes
    pushurl = ssh://user@foobar.org/foobar

    Substitute the correct URLs in there, and you should be good to go.
