Git on ubuntu machine with windows client

Question

Hi,

I keep getting an annoying popup that keeps asking me for a git password while accessing my git repo from another machine.I have no git password set up..Have referred various guides to setup git and have gone through the ssh pub/pri key setup.Any help would be appreciated

Regards, Manish Narang

Answer 1

You didn't specify how you are accessing the repo, but I would suspect something like: git clone ssh://machine.name.something/path/to/repo

If this is the case, then what you are being asked is ssh password (your normal machine login password). If you want to make a public repo follow this tutorial: http://book.git-scm.com/4_setting_up_a_public_repository.html
