Username/password and cert keys. What prompted me to ask this question is that I've observed that setting up Git to github requires generating clientside keys, but also seems to require username/password... Am trying to verify my observation that - Trying to authenticate to Github even using SSL requires generating SSH keys and entering the pubkey into your github Admin account - Even after properly configuring your Github account with your pubkey, you will still be prompted for Username/Password on each connetion, but can be partially addressed clientside by modifying the credential helper caching timeout. So, this leads me to believe that SSH keys and Username/Password are required for authentication (And looking for verification) > > So no, the same keys can't be used for both SSL and SSH. > For the reasons I've described, I guess I'm still not convinced. You may be correct, but not likely for the reasons you've given. I think I'm not just being stubborn, and allow that perhaps I could be fundamentally mistaken somewhere, but to me an RSA key is a generic key that's only specific to the way the key is generated, and can be used by any given application or protocol for proving identity and possibly encryption. > > As to github, I think they implement two modes: > 1) SSH keys are used to access the repo via SSH.

But then, maybe I can try more experiments with SSL to prove that the SSH pubkey that's now configured isn't necessary or used for SSL. Thx, Unless a post describes where my obeservations and/or reasoning may be flawed, I may just devote some time to experimenting with what may or may not work with github.

[git-users] Bug? "status --porcelain" only quotes spaces in added files
Consider this scenario: $ touch "a 1.txt" $ touch "a 2.txt" $ git add "a 1.txt" $ git status --porcelain A "a 1.txt" ?? a 2.txt Note that the added file is properly quoted to account for the space, but the unadded file is not. This makes these scenarios incredibly troublesome to parse with scripts, etc. As well, this behaviour just seems inconsistent. I am using *1.7.11.msysgit.0*.
