I know something similar has been asked multiple times, but I wasn't able to find the right solution for my case.
I have a custom git repository accessible via ssh on a non-standard port; URL is something like:
git clone ssh://[email protected]:12345/path/to/repo/project.git
private key for that repo is in ~/.ssh/myname.prv
.
I am trying to get access the repo without passwords, but I'm failing.
My current ~/.ssh/config
has a stanza:
Host git
HostName my.repo.host
Port 12345
User myname
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myname.prv
... but git still asks for a PW.
What am I missing?
Note: both server and client are fairly recent Linux machines and I'm working at the command line, if it matters.
