Access GIT via Cygwin but not via Git Bash ?

Question

Hello

I have installed msysgit - and I am trying to get it working. When I run a cygwin bash terminal - I can access my ssh via

ssh user@host

When I try the same via a Git Bash

git ls-remote user@host/path/to/git

I simply get a

fatal: the remote end hung up

Any ideas what to do ?

Answer 1

you might want git ls-remote user@host:path/to/git -- notice the ':' (colon) between the hostname and the path, rather than a '/' slash.

To connect to a nonstandard port, add an entry to ~/.ssh/config as follows

Host hostalias
HostName myhost.tld
Port 1234
User username

Answer 2

Have you tried doing:

$which git

In Bash Git?

I discovered mine was:

/bin/git

Which is not correct.
