gitosis always asks for git password
- by Cylindric
I've just followed the simple gitosis install instructions on an Ubuntu server, such as these http://blog.agdunn.net/?p=277
On the server I log in as "mark", and into /home/mark/.ssh/ I copied my keyfiles id_rsa and id_rsa.pub from my laptop.
I used that id_rsa.pub when initialising the gitosis stuff, and can happily connect locally when logged in as 'mark'.
From my laptop though, where I have the same keys, I can't connect. I just get an error:
git clone git@support:gitosis-admin.git
Initialized empty Git repository in u:/gitosis-admin/.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
The server is Ubuntu 9.04, the client is a Win7 laptop with Cygwin and WinSysGit.
