Git, Smart HTTP, and SSH

[Thad Humphries]

I’ve set up a Git repository on a Linux box with an Apache server using the “Smart HTTP” CGI. On another workstation I can clone from it with “git clone http://server/git/project” but to push back I must change the URL in .git/config to url = ssh://server/u3/git/project. Is there any way to push back without SSH? And is it possible to set Smart HTTP so that I don’t have to enter my password each time? How?

Hello Thad,

By any chance did you follow these set up steps:

If so, then try leaving out the Auth block.

Also, if you did specify an Auth block, you might be able to embed the username/password right in the remote URL itself.

Good luck!
