# Description:

|
|
Basic steps to get git connected to server and able to clone repos.
|
|
|
|
# Steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Install and configure git:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
|
|
git config --global user.email "yourname@example.com"
|
|
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
|
|
git config --global color.ui auto
|
|
git config --global pull.rebase false
|
|
git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
2. Create SSH Key
|
|
```
|
|
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
|
|
```
|
|
3. Copy public key to server
|
|
```
|
|

# Notes:
|
|
In the even you rename the key to something other than `id_rsa`, add config file to .ssh folder
|
|
`touch ~/.ssh/config` then add:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Host github.com or git server
|
|
Hostname github.com
|
|
IdentityFile /path/to/privateKey
|
|
```
|
|
`stat -c %a keyfile` checks permissions of key if needed, must be 600
|
|
`chmod 600 keyfile` |
