[iterm2-discuss] Setup up SSH keys for github enterprise

[t***@unca.edu]

Hello, I would like to use iTerm during my workflow while in the office.
However, my company uses github enterprise which requires ssh key
validation. When i try to use git commands on iTerm, i am always prompted
for username and password. This does not work for me because i can only
read and write to repos with ssh key validation. I searched google but
found nothing, has anyone else dealt with/fixed this issue?

Thank you

I don't think you're having an issue with iTerm2. That said, we use public
GitHub, but I have to imagine that enterprise GitHub works the same way.

My guess is that you're probably trying work with the repos over *https://*,
rather than *git://*. You might take a look at this article, especially the
section "Testing your SSH connection":

If that all works properly, you can cd into a directory with a repo and
check the remote URL with the command

$ git remote -v
