Github SSH URL configuration

This post is going to illustrate how you can easily configure and set up your github repository on Ubuntu


Prerequisite

  • The repository exists ( mine is https://github.com/sebastianoc/sebba-scripts )
  • You have a ssh key agent on the Ubuntu server or Pageant on your Windows machine, I use a Window machine to connect to the Ubuntu server and Pageant forward my ssh keys.

Installation

Clone the repository
ubuntu> git clone https://github.com/sebastianoc/sebba-scripts.git
Change the current working directory to your local project
ubuntu> cd sebba-scripts
Check the remote repository list you existing remotes
Example:
origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git

ubuntu> git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/sebastianoc/sebba-scripts.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/sebastianoc/sebba-scripts.git (push)
Changing a remote's URL
The git remote set-url command changes an existing remote repository URL. you're updating to use SSH, your URL might look like:
Example:
git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:sebastianoc/sebba-scripts.git
Verify remote URL has changed
ubuntu> git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:sebastianoc/sebba-scripts.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:sebastianoc/sebba-scripts.git (push)
