Clone command should use git@github as the remote origin
binarykitchen opened this issue · comments
Currently it creates something like
remote.origin.url=https://github.com/abc/dotfiles.git
when cloned using $HOME/.homesick/repos/homeshick/bin/homeshick clone abc/dotfiles
which forces me to enter github username and password every time. Don't want to. Already have my ssh keys there.
Meaning I ll have to manually modify the auto generated git config file to
remote.origin.url=git@github.abc/dotfiles.git
A bit painful to do so on every machine. Can't this be a parameter of the clone command?
Do you have your dotfiles in a private repo?
In my experience with public repos, the opposite is true; when cloning or pulling, I only get prompted for a username/password if I use the SSH URL.
The github shorthand is meant for cloning public repos, like e.g. robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh where you don't need push access. If you need to clone a private repo use homeshick clone git@github.com....
@haraldkoch yes my dotfiles are in a private repo
do you think you can add this to the readme that the homeshick clone git@github.com.... syntax is possible too for private repos?
Done.
