use https i.s.o. git for github repository

[riezebosch]

Is there a reason you generate the github url using the git-protocol? As far as I know there is no authentication possible so it makes it useless to push via this protocol.

Hi @riezebosch, thank you for your contribution.

Three things:

First, tests are failing. 😭 😉

Second, I have not heard any complaints about the git@github.com: url and it was implemented this way, since it was released with 9d2bdcc2517e51142f2673413b20a0f636c926af. Also, I am quiet confident that other people do use this, since there were issues related to this feature (see https://github.com/slara/generator-reveal/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+deploy). So I am not so sure about your statement:

[...] so it makes it useless to push via this protocol

Could you make sure that it is not a configuration issue on your end?

Third, what is your exact issue? Can you post an error message and ways to reproduce the problem you are facing?

Thank you.

The git protocol does not support authentication: https://git-scm.com/book/ch4-1.html#The-Git-Protocol. Probably everyone configured git to use https instead of git: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10729634/129269 My main problem is I cannot push using the git protocol inside the company since the used port is blocked by the firewall.

OK. I understand.

Two things (still :))

1. Are there any downsides to https: (over git:) that we should be aware of?
2. Could you adjust the failing specs?

Hi @riezebosch,

Authentication with git@github.com should work if you have your SSH keys correctly configured. https: requires that you type your credentials every time and it does not work well with two factor authentication.

Can you verify if your keys are OK, please? Thanks

EDIT: grunt-build-control configures your repository to use ssh as protocol.

[riezebosch]

My bad! I assumed that the git protocol was used because of the git@ prefix. Turns out that this is the "scp-like syntax" which indeed triggers the SSH protocol.

[slara]

@riezebosch Indeed! Authentication should work OK if you have SSH configured. Please verify that you can git push your commits to master and deploy to gh-pages with grunt deploy.

Thank you, @slara. 👍
