GitLab git user password

Question

I have just installed GitLab.

I created a project called project-x.

I have created few users and assigned it to the project.

Now I tried to clone:

Answer 1

This can happen if the host has a '-' in its name. (Even though this is legal according to RFC 952.) (Tested using Git Bash under Windows 10 using git 2.13.2.)

ssh prompts me for a password for any host that happens to have a '-' in its name. This would seem to be purely a problem with ssh configuration file parsing because adding an alias to ~/.ssh/config (and using that alias in my git remote urls) resolved the problem.

In other words try putting something like the following in your C:/Users/{username}/.ssh/config

Host {a}
    User git
    Hostname {a-b.domain}
    IdentityFile C:/Users/{username}/.ssh/id_rsa

and where you have a remote of the form

origin  git@a-b.domain:repo-name.git

change the url to use the following the form

git remote set-url origin git@a:repo-name.git
