Using a remote repository with non-standard port

git

I am setting up my local git project for a remote repository. The remote repository is being served on a non-standard port (4019).

But it doesn't work. Instead I get the following error message:

ssh: connect to host git.host.de:4019 port 22: Connection refused
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push to 'ssh://[email protected]:4019/var/cache/git/project.git'

My local git config is as follows:

[core]
  repositoryformatversion = 0
  filemode = true
  bare = false
  logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
  url = ssh://[email protected]:4019/var/cache/git/project.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master

(The port and host are placeholders for the actual port and host.)

What is wrong with my git configuration?

SSH based git access method can be specified in <repo_path>/.git/config using either a full URL or an SCP-like syntax, as specified in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone:

URL style:

url = ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/

SCP style:

url = [user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git/

Notice that the SCP style does not allow a direct port change, relying instead on an ssh_config host definition in your ~/.ssh/config such as:

Host my_git_host
HostName git.some.host.org
Port 24589
User not_a_root_user

Then you can test in a shell with:

ssh my_git_host

and alter your SCP-style URI in <repo_path>/.git/config as:

url = my_git_host:path/to/repo.git/

If you put something like this in your .ssh/config:

Host githost
HostName git.host.de
Port 4019
User root

then you should be able to use the basic syntax:

git push githost:/var/cache/git/project.git master

Try this

git clone ssh://[email protected]:11111/home/git/repo.git
