So I’ve created a repo using Git Bash, and it works (Local and Remote repo on github.com).
I’ve pushed README file for testing, and it worked. In my config everything seems okay:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = false
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
symlinks = false
ignorecase = true
hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
[gui]
pruneduringfetch = true
encoding =
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:SOME_USERNAME/some-project-name.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
And $ ssh -V git@github.com gives:
Hi SOME_USERNAME! You’ve successfully authenticated, but GitHub does
not provide shell access.
And I’m able to push files and everything, but only through Git Bash.
However, I’ve tried to work with and it gave me the following error:
The remote end hung up unexpectedly
When I manually changed the “origin” url to this:
https://SOME_USERNAME@github.com/SOME_USERNAME/some-project.git
It worked. So it doesn’t work with “git@…” but do work with “https://..”.
I’ve tried another program – SmartGit. It also gives me
The remote end hung up unexpectedly
but when I try to do this “change url trick” in SmartGit, for “https://…” it gives me the following error:
Push: Authentication failed
Authentication failed Setting remote
Setting remote service path not supported by protocol.
I’m completely lost with all this stuff. What am I doing wrong?
Try running SmartGit as administrator.
