[SOLVED] Too hard to push to GIThub

[Octal450]

Hi, I sometimes need to push alot of bulk updates, and its too hard. I have to do:

git add .

git commit -m "blablabla"

git push origin master

type username

type password

git push origin2 master

type username

type password


Way to long for each plane! Especially since my password is longer than 30 characters. I have to update sometimes 6 or 7 at once. Not all have an origin2, but most do. Can I get rid of the passwords, and have Git remember them like gitlab uses?

Get a ssh key. Upload the pubkey to github

https://help.github.com/articles/adding ... b-account/

And clone using ssh, instead of https:

Then you don't need to type passwords to push

OK, and how do I clone with ssh?

[IAHM-COL]

Click on "USE SSH" for the proper url

then, example

1. you had not cloned yet

Code: Select all

git clone git@github.com:FGMEMBERS/GulfstreamG550.git

Notice above how git@ is used instead of http://

2. you already cloned

Code: Select all

git remote -v


Response will show you origin pointing to a http:// url

example

Code: Select all

git remote remove origin
git remote add orgin git@github.com:FGMEMBERS/GulfstreamG550.git
git remote -v


Response will show you your origin now points to a ssh git@ url

Instead of SSH...

You can use

Code: Select all

git config --global credential.helper "cache --timeout=3600"

And you won't have to retype your password for an hour. This is what I use on linux.

Or you can use the netrc file. See this link. Would be different instructions if not on Windows.

Thx, won't have to reclone that way, let me try. I used 36000, to make the time longer

[Octal450]

git: 'credential-cache' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Not working

[OPFOR77]

Try typing it again. That error tells me you entered the wrong command.

For other techniques, see: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store

that never ended up working, Israel and I switched to SSH.
