Hi Christian: I've made some progress, thanks to help from you and Lee.
I've successfully managed to git clone my github repository to my linux box. I've also got corkscrew to work so I can perform a local git ls-remote successfully from the remote server .Along the way, I created a deploy key and attached it to my private repository. And I've adjusted my deploy.rb file to reflect what I've learned. But alas, cap deploy:update still generates the same "no such file or directory" error as before. Here's the new deploy.rb: http://pastie.org/1661119 .gitconfig now has: [https] proxy = https://proxy_username:[email protected]:80 ... as you suggested. But I found that I was only able to corkscrew ssh and ls-remote locally using http://[email protected]/git_username/my_app.git rather than https. My ~/.ssh/config file now contains: Host github.com ProxyCommand /usr/bin/corkscrew my.proxy.com 80 %h %p ~/.ssh/ proxyauth User git Port 443 Hostname ssh.github.com IdentityFile "location of my private key" TCPKeepAlive yes IdentitiesOnly yes Any further suggestions for me?
