由于私有git存储库ssh和https连接，npm安装失败

Question

I have the following package.json file and I am trying to run npm install, but it fails.

    "test": "git+https://<TOKEN>@github.build.test.com/test.git",

I have ssh key matched to github. However even I write the following, it always run with https.

    "test": "git+ssh://git@github.build.test.com/test.git",

In both case, I encounter following error message

npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.EXE ls-remote -h -t https://github.build.test.com/test.git
npm ERR!
npm ERR! remote: Password authentication is not available for Git operations.
npm ERR! remote: You must use a personal access token or SSH key.
npm ERR! remote: See https://github.build.test.com/settings/tokens or https://github.build.test.com/settings/ssh
npm ERR! fatal: unable to access 'https://github.build.test.com/test.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
npm ERR!
npm ERR! exited with error code: 128

If I run above command separately, it works.

git ls-remote -h -t https://<TOKEN>@github.build.test.com/test.git
git ls-remote -h -t ssh://git@github.build.test.com/test.git

How can I fix it?

Thanks

Answer 1

First if you have any url.<base>.insteadOf directive in your git configuration:

cd /path/to/repo
git config -l|grep -i insteadOf

And if not, set one of your own:

git config url."ssh://git@github.build.test.com".insteadOf  https://github.build.test.com

See then if it is still using https.

If you are going to use "git+ssh://git@github.build.test.com/test.git" you should be able to clone this repository without passing credentials. Simple git clone git+ssh://git@github.build.test.com/test.git shouldn't ask for pass or username.

You probably need to configure your git public/private keys. Your locally used key for cloning must be added to repository config. For example for github is possible to configure it on https://github.com/settings/keys
