Hello
I have shared hosting account with godaddy. I am trying to install
git.
I have followed the following steps from the following URL
http://dren.ch/git-on-godaddy/
1. I have ssh setup and I can access. for example my FTP login name is
ftpuser if I try ssh ftpu...@mydomain.com no issues and it is
working. ~/.bashrc is executed perfectly
2. I have downloaded latest binary (git-1.7.8.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm )
from http://pkgs.repoforge.org/git/ and installed as per
instruction
mkdir ~/opt cd ~/opt
rpm2cpio ~/git-1.7.8.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm | cpio -id
~/opt/usr/bin/git --version
git version 1.7.8
3. I have configured /.bashrc with the following
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/opt/usr/bin
export PATH
GIT_EXEC_PATH=$HOME/opt/usr/libexec/git-core
export GIT_EXEC_PATH
4. I have verified as per below steps and it is working on the shared
host
mkdir ~/testrepo
cd ~/testrepo
echo 'This is a test' README.txt
git init
warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/content/XX/YYY/git/.git/
git add README.txt
git commit -m 'initial version'
[master (root-commit) 5214f3b] initial version
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 README.txt
5. But I am unable to clone from the shared host to my local PC
I have tried to the following commands
a) git clone ssh://ftpu...@118.139.xxx.5/~/git/Read me.txt
(note xxx) is changed for privacy reasons.
I get the following error message
Cloning into Readme.txt...
fatal: Invalid gitfile format: /var/chroot/home/content/85/91334343/
git/Readme.txt
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
b) So I have followed the following steps
http://www.adac-solutions.com/?p=94
and created a config file
$ cd ~/.ssh
$ vi config
# Put the following in your config file change myhost and myid
with your
# GoDaddy host and userid
Host myHostAlias
HostName 118.139.xxx.5
User ftpuser
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myid@goDaddy
doubt: I have used IdentityFile as follows
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
This id_rsa file is located on my local PC . Is the steps correct for
IdentityFile and Host, Hostname, User?
when I tried the following command, it works (I could able to login)
ssh myHostAlias
but I am not sure how to clone?
When i tried the following
git clone -u /var/chroot/home/content/85/91334343/git/Readme.txt
myHostAlias
Cloning into myHostAlias...
/var/chroot/home/content/85/91334343/git/Readme.txt '/home/rams/
domain/git/test/myHostAlias': 1: /var/chroot/home/content/85/91334343/
git/Readme.txt: not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I am struck. What is causing the problem?
Thank you in advance.
