== Accessing private GitHub repos in StaSh ==

`git push` can be problematic when run within StaSh. It doesn't prompt for a user name and password like bash does. 

The solution is to create a SSH key for StaSh on GitHub. <ref>[https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/2829/git-github-workflow-in-stash/11 Setting up SSH keys], OMZ forum</ref>

From the StaSh prompt:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
[my_project] $ ssh-keygen -trsa -b2048
[my_project] $ pbcopy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 
</syntaxhighlight>

creates a key, and copies the public key to the clipboard. 

You can then paste this into whatever you use for setting up the keys on the server. E.g. go to GitHub and use this key to create a new SSH key there.

Next, we need to add a remote to an existing repo:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
[my_project]$ git remote originssh ssh://git@github.com/jsbain/stash_git_tutorial.git
</syntaxhighlight>

Now you can fetch/push,etc from originssh

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
[my_project] git push originssh
</syntaxhighlight>
