Git authentication in Chef

Question

When deploying an application with Chef, I\'ve got the code base set to be cloned from a private github repository with the following resource:

git \'/mnt/ap         


        

Answer 1

if you are in a linux distribution store your ssh key in /.ssh and add github.com to /.ssh/known_hosts

You can add github.com to known_hosts using the following command

ssh-keyscan -H github.com >> /.ssh/known_hosts

After doing this you can clone your repo using git resource of chef
