What you need
- Server side: SSH access to the server + Git installed
- Client side:Git shell ((Linux shell access, or Gui Bash for Windows)
Set up remote repository
#login to your server ssh elvis@phpntips.com # create repository mkdir ~/myproject.git # create empty repository cd ~/myproject.git git init --bare
Server: Set SSH keys
# only if you do not have an identity (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) ssh-keygen -t rsa # copy public key to the server cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh elvis@phpntips.com "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
in case youv’e specified a password for the RSA keys, and the password is asked all the time, use ssh-agent
eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add # If the keys are set properly, you can now login to the server without specifying any password ssh elvis@phpntips.com
Local machine: Clone the repository
cd ~/myProject git clone ssh://user@phpntips.com/~/myproject.git # make changes and commit git add git commit -a && git push
