Syncing with github
github
Solution
You need to at least set an `HTTP_PROXY` variable environment.
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
set HTTP_PROXY=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
Or, for bash session:
export http_proxy=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
export https_proxy=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
Make sure `%HOME%` (or $HOME) is set to a directory where you did store your `.ssh` config
Then, for git commands:
git config --system http.sslcainfo \\bin\\curl-ca-bundle.crt
git config --global http.proxy http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
git config --global user.name <short_username>
git config --global user.email <email>
git config --global github.user <github_username>
git config --global github.token <github_token>
Note: for bash session:
git config --system http.sslcainfo /bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
To avoid GitHub asking for your password, create a `_netrc` file in your `HOME` (or a `.netrc` for bash session)
machine github.com
login <login_github>
password <password_github>
Update 2012
Note that since git1.7.10 (2012), you can use a credential caching mechanism in order to avoid having to store in plain text your login/password (in a `%HOME%/_netrc` file).
Problem
This is for the nth time that I'm trying to connect to my github account and its becoming increasingly frustrating at my failure to do this. I followed this tutorial step by step Github setup on windows but I failed at step 5, i.e. Test everything out. ``` ssh git@github.com ``` gives me this ``` ssh: github.com: no address associated with name ``` Any ideas what is wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the default git installation which comes with railsinstaller on Windows XP (behind a proxy)
