How to change your local repo from https to SSH

There are a lot of reasons you may want to use SSH over https.

• SSH is faster than https

• Although both are secure SSH is more secure

• SSH is better able to navigate network obstacles

  • We often recommend SSH as a method for resolving git push issues

Although https is easier to setup, it is relatively easy for an engineer to setup SSH without an installer.

Install an SSH key locally

• TortoiseGit SSH install instructions

  • You may have to re-run the first start wizard

• OpenSSH install instructions

Switching your local repo to Git

• Grab your repo’s ssh address

  git@hub.allspice.io:AllSpice-demos/Altium-archimajor-3d-printer-driver-demo.git

• Navigate to your project’s local Git repo using a bash terminal (Git Bash on Windows)

• Enter the following commands

  replace <your-repo-ssh-address> with your repo ssh address

  git remote rm origin
  
  git remote add origin <your-repo-ssh-address>
  
  git fetch origin
  
  git push --set-upstream origin/master

• If the authentication doesn’t work

  • Check your SSH file and file location

    • %USERPROFILE%/.ssh (Windows)

    • ~/.ssh (Mac/Linux)

  • Make sure you uploaded your public key, not your private key

  • Try regenerating the key

  • Try rebooting your computer
