Git On Custom SSH Port

问题:

My VPS provider recommends that I leave my SSH port to the custom port number they assign it by default (not 22). The thing is the while I know I can give the port number when create a remote config, it seems like I can't do the same when doing a git clone. I am using gitolite so I clone commands look like:

git clone [e-mail]:gitolite-admin

Is there a way to covert this to using the custom ssh port number?

I should also mention I am running cygwin on windows. I have seen multiple places saying to add the custom port to the ~/.ssh/config file like

Host mydomain.com
    Port 12345

however in cygwin, that file does not seem to exist.

回答1:

git clone ssh://[e-mail]:[port]/gitolite-admin

_{Note that the port number should be there without the square brackets: []}

When you want a relative path from your home directory you use this strange syntax:

ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/~[user]/path/to/repo

For Example, if the repo is in /home/jack/projects/jillweb on the server jill.com and you are logging in as jack with sshd listening on port 4242:

ssh://[e-mail]:4242/~/projects/jillweb

(Update: a few years later Google and Qwant "airlines" still send me here when searching for "git non-default ssh port") A probably better way in newer git versions is to use the GIT_SSH_COMMAND ENV.VAR like:

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -oPort=1234 -i ~/.ssh/myPrivate_rsa.key" \ git clone myuser@myGitRemoteServer:/my/remote/git_repo/path

This has the added advantage of allowing any other ssh suitable option (port, priv.key, IPv6, PKCS#11 device, ...).
