Git Client Installation and Configuration

Client Configuration: 

On client side we will create the password less keys by the below command and save these on the server side at authorized_keys folder.

# ssh-keygen -t dsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa

Now copy the content of id_dsa.pub to the server’s authorized_keys folder. We can manually copy the ssh key or copy it through terminal by below commands.

# cd ~/.ssh/

# scp -r id_dsa.pub user@IP_Server:/tmp (user must be privileged)

# cat /tmp/id_dsa.pub < /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys

After the successful configuration we can ssh the server without the password.

# ssh git@server_ip

Go to the path where you want to setup your git repository on user's machine. 

# cd /home/user

# mkdir gitrepo

# cd gitrepo

      # git config --global user.name name (Setup the username and email to maintain user history)

# git config --global user.email name@abc.com

# git init

# git remote add origin git@server_ip:/pathtogit 

# touch test 
# echo test file > test

# git add test

# git commit -m “New test file”

# git push origin master

     

      We can create as many branches we want and commit changes to them and share our code with everyone.
