I think the title describes my problem well: I want to schedule git push. To be more specific, I'd like to know how I can either
tell git to make push at a specified time
tell OS to execute git push at a specified time without re-authentication
(preferably, in such a way that the other attempts to push shall require authentication.).
I'm on linux (Ubuntu 13.04) and thus scripting with bash will be fine.
There is nothing in git which includes:
scheduling (this is provided by Ubuntu with cron jobs)
authentication: it depends on the kind of listener (https, ssh, git, ...) you have on the remote side.
Depending on your remote url, you can, for instance:
use a dedicate public/private ssh key.
use encrypted credentials (username/password) with https url (as in "Configure Git clients, like GitHub for Windows, to not ask for authentication")
you can schedule such jobs using cron.
00 07 * * * git push
will run git push command everyday at 7 AM.

I'm trying to push my project on git to my remote Linux server from my local Windows PC.
I have no issues connecting to my server through SSH when I use PuTTY. But PuTTY is only for the remote server, and doesn't let me look in my own local pc - so I can't access my git repository to push from.
Instead I've been trying with Git Bash, where I go to the repository(master) of my git project, and then attempt "git push production master". Receiving "Permission denied (publickey)" in response in Git Bash.
I have loaded by private key from my user/.ssh folder on local pc, using PuTTYgen, copy/pasted the public key it shows into my Github account's SSH-keys.
This is the same key that I use for connecting with PuTTY(which works).
If I use "git remote -v" in Git Bash, I receive what is the correct url for the server:
"
production ssh://notacop#mafiauniversedata.com/var/repo/site.git (fetch)
production ssh://notacop#mafiauniversedata.com/var/repo/site.git (push)
"
"notacop" is the admin user I made instead of root, which is also the one that I use in PuTTY.
If I attempt "ssh notacop#mafiauniversedata.com" in Git Bash I also receive the "Permission denied (publickey)" response. So seemingly the issue is related to the publickey that Git Bash uses, as it can't connect at all.
My user/.ssh folder contains:
digitalocean_private_key (is the one PuTTY uses/the one generated by PuTTYgen) + digitalocean_public_key
github_rsa + github_rsa.pub
id_rsa + id_rsa.pub
known_hosts
I feel like I've set things up in accordance with the general guidelines, and it does work in PuTTY, so the issue must be related to Git Bash and how Git Bash establishes ssh connection.
But I'm fairly clueless about how to fix the issue, and haven't been able to find a solution from searching. My guess is that it's something fairly simple, but I've been stuck on this for a couple weeks now, not getting anywhere because of it.
Any answers that can lead me in the right direction will be highly appreciated!
If anything about my question is unclear, or you need more information to answer, please let me know.
I don't know why Git Bash's own ssh doesn't seem to work for you,
but I have a better recommendation: make Git Bash use PuTTY, by setting the GIT_SSH environment variable to the path of plink.exe (that's not a typo, it's not putty.exe, but another executable that comes with the zip of PuTTY tools).
The main advantage and reason to do this is so that Git Bash can benefit from pagent.exe, the key manager of PuTTY.
So that you can enter your passphrase once,
when adding your private key to Pagent,
and then you don't need to re-enter it every time you perform remote operations in Git Bash.
I have a problem with GIT logs. Is it possible to view the git-clone history in GIT or OS shell? Where to find the history of clone and downloads GIT repository with information about time, dest. IP?
The 'git clone' gives only a copy of the data, it does not do any change in the repo i.e. logging download history. However, I assume the git is accessed in some cerain way like via SSH or http/https. Then you can use the services which gave the access to the git to getch the data you require. For this reason they should be capable to gather, store and provide it to you.
As an exmple, for http/https you can use the logs of the web server (filtering by URL). For ssh you can use last by the user who clonned the repo. And so on.
We have own linux server, with a git server. But for some reasons we create bitbucket account (private repos) and now we want use it as "backup".
Now i want set when someone push code on own server -> server make other push on bitbucket.
It is possible? Has someone script for this or some idea .....?
I believe you can do this via git post-receive hook.
I am wondering if anyone has a better strategy for this scenario.
I am currently hosting my own remote git repo on the same box as the webserver.
All git repos are under the git user.
sudo -uwww-data -gwww-data git --git-dir=/var/www/website/.git --work-tree=/var/www/website pull
I have a cron job running as root every minute that executes this command. The git repo in the web folder is cloned from the same box to git's home dir where it's stored instead of through ssh.
So my question: Since git doesn't own the web files, it can't move the site using a git hook. I would assume I don't want git to have sudo, nor would that work via a git hook, right? Is there something that will deploy the site faster than every minute? I don't want the operation to be very expensive.
Is there some kind of daemon root could run and listen for some kind of notification? Like having it watch a file's last modified time?
Note that this article (in French, translated through Google) reports that sudo works with your approach:
change sudo to allow the gitosis user to use this command as www-data.
To do this, by running "visudo" add the line:
git ALL = (www-data) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/pullhere
Then, in each repository where necessary, add the next hook in a post-receive file:
sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/pullhere /html/u/user/here
eg in / home/git/repositories/projet1.git/hooks/post-receive

I am the CM person for a small company that just started using Git. We have two Git repositories currently hosted on a Windows box that is our all-purpose Windows server. But, we just set up a dedicated server for our CM software on an Ubuntu Linux server named "Callisto".
So I created a test Git repository on Callisto. I gave its directory all of the proper permissions recursively. I had the sysadmin create a login for me on Callisto, and I created a key to use for logging in via SSH. I set up my key to use a passphrase; I don't know if that could be contributing to my problems? Anyway, I know my SSH login works because I tested it through puTTY.
But, even after hours of trials and head scratching, I can't get my Windows Git bash (mSysGit) to talk to Callisto for the purposes of pushing or pulling Callisto's git repository files.
I keep getting "Fatal error. The remote end hung up unexpectedly." And I've even gotten the error that Git doesn't recognize the test repository on Callisto as a git repository. I read online that the "Fatal error...hung up unexpectedly" is usually a problem with the server connection or permissions. So what am I missing or overlooking here? And why doesn't a pull using the git:// protocol work, since that only uses read-only access? Group and public permissions for the git repository's directory on Callisto are set to read and execute, but not write.
If anyone could help, I would be so grateful. Thank you.
If you use putty/pageant, check if your host is in the know_hosts file in
docssettings/userdir/.ssh
If not, try putty first and accept the key your server provides.
Do you have similar lines in .git/config?
[remote "origin"]
url = ssh://user#server/.../repo.git
I have only passing familiarity with mSysGit, but I don't think it installs an ssh client. Without the ssh client, git cannot connect to the server. (This functionality isn't baked into git as per the Unix philosophy.) As for the git protocol, unless the server has that enabled, it won't work. Since it seems you have the server setup for ssh access, I doubt you'll get anywhere with the git protocol.
Anyway, I know my SSH login works
because I tested it through puTTY.
Have you confirmed that you can SSH to the server from your msysgit client?
i.e. what happens when you ssh user#callisto.com from the msysgit command line?
For further details about setting up your git server, you may want to review Pro Git: Chapter 4 "Git on the Server".
And why doesn't a pull using the
git:// protocol work, since that only
uses read-only access?
For the git protocol to work, you must setup the git daemon on your server as described in Chapter 4.9 of Pro Git.
