HowTo: Teamcity + GitHub

Question

Has anybody successfully configured Teamcity to monitor, extract, and build from GitHub?

I can\'t seem to figure how where and how to configure the SSH keys for Teamcity

Answer 1

(This is a up to date answer to an old question)

I got ssh based builds working with github/gitlab and teamcity 7 like this:

Log onto the teamcity machine and use puttygen/ssh-keygen to generate a rsa key pair and save the openssh key somewhere sensible. (Gotcha - Using puttygen? Make sure the private key is in openssh format - puttygen > conversions > export openssh key)

I suggest you save the private key in

C:\.ssh\id_rsa

Now setup "default private key" in teamcity - create a file

C:\.ssh\config

And in it place this:

Host * IdentityFile c:\.ssh\id_rsa

Login to your gitlab/guthub account and paste in the openssh public key for your teamcity private key.

You should now be able to create a git vcs root in teamcity that can use the default private key to pull your source.
