It could be that this is coincidentally the same as your username on the mac. You can change a remote url like this (if the remote is called 'origin'): git remote set-url origin macusern...@server.net:repo.git -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Thanks for the help. I was on the right track. I can ssh from my pc if I add my mac user to the front of the url. eg macusern...@server.net this way I am not prompted to enter a password. Should I set up git in some way to use my mac username by default? Any advice from here?

Just to follow up, the Github help pages have some good tips on setting up SSH keys on Windows: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys Just skip the part about generating new keys, and the Github specific things (like uploading ssh keys in the admin interface). Usually, these problems are because of: * SSH is not using the correct key file - you can investigate this by looking at the output of "ssh -v git-username@git-server" * The contents of the key file are corrupted (accidentally added a line break when copy/pasting the key, etc) - you can study this by looking at the key file in a decent editor (like Notepad++ or something) On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 4:11:40 AM UTC+2, Les Nightingill wrote: > > The first thing you need to try to diagnose is whether: > a. the far end is falling back to password access b/c it cannot > authenticate the public key you're sending > b. the pc thinks the local private key requires a password for access > > if you can try an ssh connection using the keys with verbose mode turned > on, you might get more insight.

[git-users] Re: Copying public keys from mac to pc
The first thing you need to try to diagnose is whether: a. the far end is falling back to password access b/c it cannot authenticate the public key you're sending b. the pc thinks the local private key requires a password for access if you can try an ssh connection using the keys with verbose mode turned on, you might get more insight. It should (ha ha) be pretty much the same command as on the mac. sorry, many details missing here, I know, but maybe it gives you a diagnostic start.
