Github Enterprise using ssh?

[eng618]

I was trying to use some of the extra feature like git issue and git browse but when I do so in a GHE repo it asks for username and password; however, my GHE account is restricted to only shh access. Is there a way to utilize this, or am I setting this up incorrectly?

I added my GHE host name with git config --global --add hub.host github.COMPANY.com

which added it to the .gitconfig as:

[hub]
  host = github.COMPANY.com

Is that the first time you used hub? When I first used hub I had to log in (including two factor authentication). That was only for using hub, not cloning the repo, for which I also use ssh.

I'm not sure if that applies to GHE

Yes, this is the first time using hub. WIth my GHE account though we do not have the option for basic auth...it is routed through SSO so whatever credentials I put in fail.

Try generating a Personal Access Token from your GitHub Enterprise settings (web interface) and adding something like this to your ~/.config/hub:

yourdomain.com:
- user: eng618
  oauth_token: YOURTOKEN
  protocol: https

Sorry that this is inconvenient. We will be working on trying to make this more convenient: #225
