Setting up git-core, gitolite and gitweb in ubuntu 12.04 and adding a windows machine as git client isn't working

Question

I'm using this link to install git-core, gitolite and gitweb in ubuntu 12.04:
https://ao2.it/wiki/How_to_setup_a_GIT_server_with_gitolite_and_gitweb
I installed git-core by using this command:

sudo apt-get install git-core  

Then I added a new user git by using this command:

sudo adduser \
    --system \
    --shell /bin/bash \
    --gecos 'git SCM user' \
    --group \
    --disabled-password \
    --home /home/git \
    git  

Then I added repositories in /home/git

sudo -u git mkdir /home/git/repositories  

Then I moved to windows machine, and generated pub and ppk keys by using this command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa  

Then I copied pub key to ubuntu and added it to /home/<username>/.ssh/ folder.
Then I ran scp command in windows cmd :

scp C:/Users/Ajay Kulkarni-enEXL/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 192.168.1.140:git.pub  

git is the new user name in Ubuntu which I created earlier.
Output of that command was:

You can't hack this system from external connectors like putty telnet etc.!!

Good luck with hacking this system cheers :)

scp was unable to connect to ubuntu instance. How can I make scp connect to ubuntu?

Answer 1

Then I copied pub key to ubuntu and added it to /home/<username>/.ssh/ folder

You would actually need to add it to /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys ( with the right permission , as seen here

server$ mkdir ~/.ssh
server$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
server$ cat ~/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
server$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
server$ rm ~/id_rsa.pub

).

Test your ssh connection with

ssh -Tv git@192.168.1.140

You must be able to open an ssh session as git , before proceeding any further.
