Overview

There is now a Git repository on Technology Nursery for use by TSSG members.  The git server was created using Carlos Bernárdez's git-server-docker image.  To access the repository, send me your SSH public key by attaching it to an email.

Instructions on locating or creating your SSH public key can be found in Connecting to GitHub with SSH.

Step-by-step guides

Prerequisites

• Send ssh public key to ralph@navarrocomputing.com
  Ralph A. Navarro Jr. will let you know when your ssh key has been posted to the git server.

Verify access to git server

• ssh git@technologynursery.org -p 2222

  ...
  Welcome to git-server-docker!
  You've successfully authenticated, but I do not
  provide interactive shell access.

Refreshing your ssh cached entry for our git server

Our git-server had been upgraded back on 2018-12-05.  This caused a change in the server's private key.  If you haven't connected to the server since then, your ssh will complain about the server's identity not matching that in the known_hosts file.

1. Clear out your known_hosts file of the invalid server certificate entries:
   

   1. ssh-keygen -R technologynursery.org

   2. ssh-keygen -R [technologynursery.org]:2222

2. Follow the steps within Verify access to git server.
