I have just installed GitLab I created a project called project-x I have created few users and assigned it to the project Now I tried to clone git clone git 192 168 0 108 project-x git It prompted me for a password What password should I use

The Solution from https github com gitlabhq gitlab-shell issues 46 worked for me By setting the permissions chmod 700 home git ssh chmod 600 home git ssh authorized keys password prompt disappears

On Windows 10 using the terminal under VS Code I got a prompt for git gitlab s password when trying to git push -u origin --all I had established my ssh credentials in windows and in gitlab but I had used Windows 10 bash key-gen to do so The solution then was to invoke bash in VS code terminal and then issue the command again bash git push -u origin --all It succeeded To avoid having to use bash git manually I then put a symlink between the windows ssh id rsa and the bash shell ssh id rsa C Users bruce ssh gt mklink id rsa C Users bruce AppData Local lxss home bruce ssh id rsa VS Code Git menu actions push pull etc now worked with gitlab

To add yet another reason to the list in my case I found this problem was being caused by an SELinux permissions problem on the server This is worth checking if your server is running Fedora CentOS Red Hat To test this scenario you can run Client ssh -vT git lt gitlab-server gt -- asks for password Server sudo setenforce 0 Client ssh -vT git lt gitlab-server gt -- succeeds Server sudo setenforce 1 In my case the gitlab git user s authorized keys file had the wrong SELinux file context and the ssh service was being denied permission to read it I fixed this on the server side as follows sudo semanage fcontext -a -t ssh home t gitlab ssh sudo semanage fcontext -a -t ssh home t gitlab ssh authorized keys sudo restorecon -F -Rv gitlab ssh And I was then able to git clone on the client side as expected

In my case I was using a pair of keys that didn t have the default names id rsa and id rsa pub Producing keys with these names solved the problem and I actually found it looking at the output of ssh -vT my gitlab address Strange fact it worked on one computer with Ubuntu but not on others with different distributions and older versions of OpenSSH

The same solution for Windows machine Generate SSH key and add key to Git lab server Make sure 2 SSH key files are in ssh folder e g C Users xxx ssh Clone should be successful without password require

Not strictly related to the current scenario Sometimes when you are prompted for password it is because you added the wrong origin format HTTPS instead of SSH HTTP S protocol is commonly used for public repos with strong username pass SSH authentication is more common for internal projects where you can authenticate with a ssh-key-file and simple pass-phrase GitLab users are more likely to use the SSH protocol View your remote info with git remote -v If you see HTTP S address this is the command to change it to SSH git remote set-url origin git gitlab my domain com example-project git

I had the same problem I spent a lot of time searching I had the idea to use Eclipse to import the project from GitLab Once the project is imported correctly I made the comparison between the configuration of the project s Git ripository that I imported into Eclispe in Eclipse Git Repository in myprojectRepo Working Directory git config the one that is made in git config there i wanted to push my project with git git push and asked me for a password Surprise The remote does not have the same in both cases I handed the same as that in eclipse and everything works

This can happen if the host has a - in its name Even though this is legal according to RFC 952 Tested using Git Bash under Windows 10 using git 2 13 2 ssh prompts me for a password for any host that happens to have a - in its name This would seem to be purely a problem with ssh configuration file parsing because adding an alias to ssh config and using that alias in my git remote urls resolved the problem In other words try putting something like the following in your C Users username ssh config Host a User git Hostname a-b domain IdentityFile C Users username ssh id rsa and where you have a remote of the form origin git a-b domain repo-name git change the url to use the following the form git remote set-url origin git a repo-name git

You may usually if you have multiple keys setup via ssh on your system my device is running Windows 10 you will encounter this issue the fix is to Precondition Setup up your SSH Keys as indicated by GitLab open c Users ssh config file with Notepad or your favourite editor paste the following inside it Host IdentityFile ssh Please note there is a space before the second line very important to avoid this solution not working

[git] GitLab git user password

I had the right public/private key, but seemed like it didn't work anyway (got same errors, prompting for the git-user password). After a computer-restart it worked though!
