GitKraken can connect to repositories hosted on most services (like TFS, AWS CodeCommit, custom service, etc), over HTTPS or SSH.

GitLab supports secure communication between Git and its servers using SSH keys. The SSH protocol provides this security and allows you to authenticate to the GitLab remote server without supplying your username or password each time. This page can help you configure secure SSH keys which you can use to help secure connections to GitLab repositories. Creating an SSH key on Linux & macOS 1. Check for existing SSH keys. You should check for existing SSH keys on your local computer. You can use an existing SSH key with Bitbucket Server if you want, in which case you can go straight to either SSH user keys for personal use or SSH access keys for system use. Open a terminal and run the following. Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent. Before adding a new SSH key to the ssh-agent to manage your keys, you should have checked for existing SSH keys and generated a new SSH key. When adding your SSH key to the agent, use the default macOS ssh-add command, and not an application installed by macports, homebrew, or some other external source. Creating a new key pair for authentication. To create a new key pair, select the type of key to generate from the bottom of the screen (using SSH-2 RSA with 2048 bit key size is good for most people; another good well-known alternative is ECDSA). Then click Generate, and start moving the mouse within the Window. Putty uses mouse movements to.

HTTPS

The most common and default way to interact with a remote repository, HTTPS configuration will always require your Git username and password credentials.

To clone a remote repository over HTTPS, first navigate to your hosting service and copy the HTTPS link. /quick-heal-total-security-2013-serial-key-generator-free-download.html. The URL should be formatted like this:

Then go to GitKraken and clone the project through File Clone.

Ssh Key Generation

Paste the URL, hit , and then open the repo in GitKraken.

By default when cloning a repo using HTTPS, your remote tracking at origin will be set using this format.

SSH

Git Generate A New Ssh Key On Server Windows 10

Windows server 2008 r2 sp1 product key generator. Before you can clone a repo over SSH, you must first set up your SSH keys in GitKraken.

Navigate to Preferences Authentication.

Under General, you may choose an SSH key pair by browsing your file system, or let GitKraken generate a key for you (recommended). Make sure that you copy your public SSH key and paste it into your remote hosting service!

Once your keys are set up, you are ready to clone.

Clone over SSH

To clone a remote repository over SSH, first navigate to your hosting service and copy the SSH link.

Then go to GitKraken and clone the project through File Clone.

Paste the URL, hit , and then open the repo in GitKraken.

Supported SSH formats

The standard protocol can be entered as a remote in one of following formats:

or

where

Ssh Key Generation Linux

  • {host} can be example.com
  • {user} is the username (git by default)
  • {repo} is myrepository.git

Note:{repo} usually has an owner like a user or organization where the repository is located on which ssh://{user}@{host}/{owner}/{repo} would be used.

For example, the original HTTPS URL in SSH is formulated as

By default when cloning a repo using SSH, your remote tracking at origin will be set using this format.

Custom SSH ports

To use a custom SSH port, you need to use the ssh:// format for your SSH URL.

Local SSH Agent

'Never send a human to do a machine's job.'

A local SSH agent handles key communication with your remote host, without needing a passphrase.

With SSH, it's not uncommon when working with many projects, and separate profiles that you need different credentials.

While you can specify a single SSH key pair as a default, and even have dedicated defaults per profile, it may be preferable to check Use local SSH agent and have the keys managed externally.

This way, provided your keys are loaded, every action requiring a chat with your known hosts can manage providing l33tp@$$.&3 for success without your keyboard involved.

100% of the time, it works every time.

I'm having an SSH issue.

Well if it's not working 100% of the time, the most common issues are:

  • SSH-agent on Windows — GitKraken currently only supports Pageant for the SSH agent for Windows.
  • You can download PuTTY and Pageant from their page here.
  • Misconfigured SSH settings — remote URL format
  • Check in Preferences Authentication to confirm that your SSH settings are correct.
  • Edit remotes in the left ref panel to ensure push and pull urls are set and in the correct format
  • Expected use of SSH config — GitKraken does not currently respect your SSH config and cannot make use of any remote server nicknames or identities.
  • You can either load your SSH key directly into GitKraken or use your system’s SSH agent to authenticate with your remote.

Forget all

You may tell GitKraken to forget all usernames and passwords from Preferences Authentication:

Use this if you need the app to prompt for username or password for remote actions like push or pull.

Proxy configuration

GitKraken supports proxies for Windows, OSX, and Linux. GitKraken should recognize your proxy settings by default, however please review the additional instructions below if you are using an authenticated proxy such as basic, NTLM, Negotiate, or Digest.

Windows

For Windows users, your Windows machine will prompt for your proxy credentials on GitKraken’s behalf. Enter the credentials to complete the proxy configuration with GitKraken.

OSX

If you’re using an authenticated proxy on OSX, GitKraken will directly ask for the proxy credentials. Enter the credentials to complete the proxy configuration with GitKraken.

Linux

If you are using an authenticated proxy on Linux, Gitkraken will directly ask for the proxy credentials. Additionally, you will need to run GitKraken with the command line flag:

where 10.200.0.1 and 8080 are the proxy IP and proxy port respectively. Without this flag, OAuth integrations are subject to fail.
