When I try to push from a local repository to a remote windows machine, using the next command:
git push ssh://username#ip_address:/C/Users/username/project.git master
After entering credentials I get this error:
fatal: ''/c/Users/username/project.git'' does not appear to be a git
repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
It seems like /C/Users/username/project.git must be replaced by C:/Users/username/project.git (without "/" before C) but when I try this variant, I get another error before asking for credentials:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname ip_address:C:: Name or service not
known
Any ':' in the SSH URL would make SSH interpret it as SCP syntax
An actual URI is as commented ssh://username#ip_address/C/Users/username/project.git
Make sure you check the case (lower/upercase) of the path used here.
Try also with /c/... vs /C/...

I want to perform CI/CD on remote server running on windows for hosting my VueJs project. For doing that I have performed the following steps
I have added my ssh of my local machine to remote server as authorised keys and I am able to access the admin(cmd) remote server via ssh by using the following command.
ssh remote_server#<ip_address>
Using the above command the git bash opens cmd with following location c:/users/remote_user1 of remote server where I had added ssh of my local machine as authorized key.
I created bare git repo in C:/users/remote_user1 by logging in remote computer by rdp using the following command
git init test.git --bare
I gave Full access rights to test.git from remote server
I tried to clone test.git on my local machine using the command from git bash
git clone ssh://remoteserver#<ip_address>:/test.git
when I use the command from my local machine I get the error message from git bash
fatal: ''/test.git'' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I am not able to understand what am I am doing wrong here, Please guide me on this.
The format for ssh urls must be one of :
# 'ssh://' url :
ssh://remoteserver#<ip_address>/test.git
# scp-like syntax :
remoterserver#<ip_address>:test.git
(link to docs)
The url you posted contains a :/ which makes it a mixture of both, you should modify this url to match one of the two accepted formats.
I am trying to add repository via Xcode > Settings > Accounts and I am stuck on the proper address. Address of our repo is quite simple: my.domain.com:port/project-name. Authentication via SSH Keys. Could someone help me to understand what's going on here? See screenshot below.
By the way running git clone git+ssh://git#my.domain.com:port/project-name works fine.
EDIT
Running git clone without git+ssh//
git clone git#my.domain.cz:2222/project-name
or
git clone git#my.domain.cz:22/project-name
is giving me same error:
ssh: connect to host my.domain.cz port 22: Connection refused
fatal: Could not read from remote repository
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Xcode accepts just ssh://git#my.domain.cz:2222/project-name.
The git protocol is somehow redundant in this case. Raw git tools don't have a problem with it, but Xcode does not like it for some reason.
It always fails for me when I use existing ssh keys.
I created a new ssh key pair through Xcode and uploaded the public key to the git server (in my case, Phabricator), and it works.
I have a project which uses Git on a remote server. I installed SourceTree for Mac to manage it. I also have a .ssh folder with the private in the root directory where I keep all my projects and the public key is in the server.
I was able to clone the project successfully and even commit+push it back with no problem. Then I ceated a branch in my local repo, added a new file and tried commit+push it. It was committed but the pushing failed with the following error message.
Pushing to git#gitserver:gitbtest
ssh: Could not resolve hostname gitserver: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I'm not sure why this is happening. Is there a way to set SSH keys in SourceTree for Mac? I can't seem to find any option to do so.
Any help to resolve this would be great.
Thank you!
An url like git#gitserver:gitbtest can only work if one have an ssh config file in order to resolve the name gitserver:
$HOME/.ssh/config
Host gitserver
Hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # IP or full name for gitserver
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Actually, with such a file, you don't even have to specify the user:
git remote set-url origin gitserver:gitbtest
(You can see an example of that ~/.ssh/config file used in "git public key for more repositories")
Searching google for +github +ssh "no address associated with name" gives the following SO questions as the 4 top results:
github no address associated with name
Github push origin master not working
Syncing with github
GITHUB setup - no address associated with name
None of them gives answer to my problem, though.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin>git --version
git version 1.7.7.1.msysgit.0
c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin>ssh git#github.com
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/Piotr/.ssh/id_rsa':
Hi piotr-dobrogost! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Connection to github.com closed.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin>git clone ssh://git#github.com:piotr-dobrogost/requests.git
Cloning into requests...
ssh: github.com:piotr-dobrogost: no address associated with name
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I guess the problem is caused by git passing github.com:piotr-dobrogost as the hostname to ssh instead just github.com only. Why does git do this and what's the solution?
You answered it yourself - the problem is that you're passing github.com:piotr-dobrogost as the hostname, which is, in fact, not a valid hostname. git will understand either proper URLs to a repository, or a repository path in SCP format (see man 1 scp.) For a proper URL, try:
git clone ssh://git#github.com/piotr-dobrogost/requests.git
Which is equivalent to the following in SCP path format:
git clone git#github.com:piotr-dobrogost/requests.git
I had this same problem, and it's turn out it was DNS problem.
The DNS settings were wrong and the machines simply could not reach the remote git repository.
I am running a private git server with an address assigned by DHCP; this address seems to remain static. From time to time, authenticating with the remote host gives the "no address associated with this name" error.
However, I edit the known_hosts file for my client (which for me resides at C:\Users\MyUserName\.ssh\known_hosts) and delete the line that refers to the private git server:
gitserver.local,10.0.0.10 ssh-rsa AAAABCAAAA....
I then connect again to the git server and issue a pull request. This time, git asks whether to cache the SSH key and the pull concludes successfully, without the "no address associated with name" error.
So, I suspect that something about the RSA key, or how that key relates to DNS, is getting screwed up. If nothing else gives joy, try manually deleting and automatically reinstalling the RSA key on the client. This should not actually work, but it seems to work in my case. I have no clear idea why this should be so.
I installed GIT onto my windows 2k8 server following these directions: http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/wiki/HOWTO_CentralServerWindowsXP
All commands work fine except the "push" command. I get this error:
git.exe push -v "origin" master:master
git: '/path/to/repo' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Pushing to user#ipaddress/path/to/repo
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Does anyone know how to fix this?
It looks like the remote origin is not set up correctly.
I recommend re-creating that remote, either by renaming it or deleting it and making a new one:
git remote rename origin origin_backup
git remote add origin ssh://user:pass#address/path/to/repo.git
Then try again, preferably with a fetch before you push.
What protocol are you using? If git://, then make sure there is a Git daemon listening for connections. If ssh://, make sure you have ssh access and write permission on the appropriate directory tree.
Another possibility is that the server and client are running different versions of Git. It could cause problems if one is running a version that expects commands in the format git cmd and the other expects git-cmd.
First check, if your plain SSH access to 5.16.217.81 is working: is
ssh 5.16.217.81
able to open a connection to the host?
If that is successful, ensure that you specify the path to your repo in a way your SSH server understands. In the HowTo, the path is specified different from the path you typed:
5.16.217.81/d/private/test/ (your path) vs.
<server>:d:/DeeDriveRepos/Repo2
Obviously, the CopSSH server wants colons to separate the drive letter from the host, so that your URL should be 5.16.217.81:d:/private/test/.
If you used Cygwin, your URL would be 5.16.217.81/cygdrive/d/private/test/
My pushes work for msysgit version 1.6.5 but not for 1.7.x
