How to pull a git repository from remote server? -


i've seen few similar questions asked, didn't me figure out, , couldn't find tutorials (i wasn't sure looking for, honest). also, haven't used git apart pulling/pushing onto github, why (at least believe so) confused! github made me spoiled setting repo up!

what did on server:

  • sudo apt-get install git installed (i think) needed proceed.
  • i created test repository (just few txt , html files) inside git_test
  • git init
  • git add .
  • git commit
  • i used vim .git/description change description starships.

what did computer

i have git pre-installed

  • git clone destielstarship@[remote_server]/starships1

which produced error: fatal: unable destielstarship@[remote_server](port 9418) (a non-recoverable error occurred during database look-up. )


  1. i replaced ip address [remote_server] clarity, hope didn't make more confusing.


update: whoops! fixed awkward typo!

tl;dr

unless you're running git-daemon on remote server, want use ssh rather git uri scheme.

ssh schemes

to use ssh transport, can clone repository using different uri scheme. example, assuming username on remote host "destielstarship," use following command:

git clone ssh://destielstarship@remotehost.example.com/path/to/git_test 

you can leave off .git extension repository in cases, , need specify username remote host if differs current login.
