Using a remote repository with non-standard port

Question

I am setting up my local git project for a remote repository  The remote repository is being served on a non-standard port  4019    But it doesn t work  Instead I get the following error message   ssh  connect to host git host de 4019 port 22  Connection refused fatal  The remote end hung up unexpectedly error  failed to push to  ssh   root git host de 4019 var cache git project git    My local git config is as follows    core    repositoryformatversion   0   filemode   true   bare   false   logallrefupdates   true  remote  origin     url   ssh   root git host de 4019 var cache git project git   fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin    branch  master     remote   origin   merge   refs heads master    The port and host are placeholders for the actual port and host    What is wrong with my git configuration

If you put something like this in your  ssh config   Host githost HostName git host de Port 4019 User root   then you should be able to use the basic syntax   git push githost  var cache git project git master

SSH based git access method can be specified in  lt repo path gt   git config using either a full URL or an SCP-like syntax  as specified in http   git-scm com docs git-clone   URL style   url   ssh    user  host xz  port  path to repo git    SCP style   url    user  host xz path to repo git    Notice that the SCP style does not allow a direct port change  relying instead on an ssh config host definition in your    ssh config such as   Host my git host HostName git some host org Port 24589 User not a root user   Then you can test in a shell with   ssh my git host   and alter your SCP-style URI in  lt repo path gt   git config as   url   my git host path to repo git

This avoids your problem rather than fixing it directly  but I d recommend adding a    ssh config file and having something like this  Host git host HostName git host de User root Port 4019   then you can have  url   git host  var cache git project git   and you can also ssh git host and scp git host     and everything will work out

Try this  git clone ssh   user 32 242 111 21 11111 home git repo git

SSH doesn t use the   syntax when specifying a port  The easiest way to do this is to edit your    ssh config file and add    Host git host de   Port 4019   Then specify just git host de without a port number
