Question

My situation is, I can ssh to ComputerB (Code repos) where git repos is put. But my local connection is too slow to clone the code. And I can ssh to another machine (ComputerA) which is faster, so I want to clone the code through ComputerA.

This is what I did:

           ssh tunnel                           ssh tunnel MyComputer ----------> ComputerA (I can ssh to) ----------> ComputerB (where the Code repos is and I can ssh to but too slow) 

Using a command like this:

ssh -L1234:ComputerA_ip:22 Code_repos_ip 

Then:

git clone git+ssh//localhost/repos local_repos (how can I assign the port 1234?) 

If this doesn’t work, what else can I do?

Answer 1

How will going through two connections make your connection faster?

Anyhow, you should be able to do:

git clone git+ssh://localhost:1234/repos local_repos
