Hi guys, I'm trying to learn how to use git. I would have tried it before but I had heard it was slow/buggy on Windows, and while I am fairly proficient with Linux and dual boot, I do prefer Windows overall. But that's beside the point, as msysgit should be working for me but isn't. I suspect it has something to do with my public key authentication setup. Here are the details:
My repository is here: https://github.com/ibrahima/worldwiideweb/tree I was writing some code in C and I had been storing it in a Google Code SVN repository. But then I heard about msysgit so I wanted to move it to github, because I liked the idea of git/github. So I downloaded msysgit, and I already had putty so I created a new public/ private key pair using Pageant and added the public key to my github account. Then, I had github import my SVN repo from Google Code, and after several days, it finally finished (which was odd, since there are only 3 source files and a few eclipse project files, and only 8 revisions total). Next, I tried to use my github private url and msys git bash to clone the newly imported repository, but it failed with the following error: "fatal: protocol error: bad line length character" I do have pageant running with my private key loaded. I am suspecting that it's an authentication problem because I can clone from my public URL, but unless I'm mistaken I should use the private URL if I want to actually commit things? Unless the private URL is only for use with private projects. I also get errors when I try to clone the private URL in linux, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Thanks for the help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
