Git On Custom SSH Port
git clone ssh://[email protected]:[port]/gitolite-admin
Note that the port number should be there without the square brackets: []
Above answers are nice and great, but not clear for new git users like me. So after some investigation, i offer this new answer.
1 what's the problem with the ssh config file way?
When the config file does not exists, you can create one. Besides port
the config file can include other ssh config option:user
IdentityFile
and so on, the config file looks like
Host mydomain.com
User git
Port 12345
If you are running linux, take care the config file must have strict permission: read/write for the user, and not accessible by others
2 what about the ssh url way?
It's cool, the only thing we should know is that there two syntaxes for ssh url in git
- standard syntax
ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
- scp like syntax
[user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git/
By default Gitlab and Github will show the scp like syntax url, and we can not give the custom ssh port. So in order to change ssh port, we need use the standard syntax
When you want a relative path from your home directory (on any UNIX) you use this strange syntax:
ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/~[user]/path/to/repo
For Example, if the repo is in /home/jack/projects/jillweb
on the server jill.com
and you are logging in as jack
with sshd
listening on port 4242:
ssh://[email protected]:4242/~/projects/jillweb
And when logging in as jill
(presuming you have file permissions):
ssh://[email protected]:4242/~jack/projects/jillweb
