git push origin master 失败

Question

I want to push my code to github.com.

I use win Xp and git-bash 1.7.2.3

And I got following success message during ssh testing.

But " git push origin master " command require username and password.

debug1: Entering interactive session.

Answer 1

You have to create a ssh key and upload the public key to github, so that it will be able to authenticate you using the key. I think that in Windows, the ssh key resides inside the .ssh folder of your profile ( c:\\documents and settings\\<username> ). So, create the key and upload the contents of id_rsa.pub (this is the name unless you change it) to Github.

Answer 2

Did you set your GitHub id? (since GitHub is based on Token identification )

git config --global github.user "your-github-username"
git config --global github.token "your-github-token"

See GitHub Help page .

Regarding Vasileios Lourdas 's answer about ssh, make sure what is the value of $HOME in a git bash session.

VonC@VONC ~
$ pwd
/c/Users/VonC

Vonc@VONC ~
$ echo $HOME
/c/Users/VonC

On Xp, that would be c:\\Document And Settings\\VonC .
Meaning your ssh public key file id_rsa.pub must have the path:

 c:\Document And Settings\VonC\.ssh\id_rsa.pub

It may be a problem with using HTTPS interface. Change to the directory and run "git remote -v" to list how your remotes are configured, then post it.
