Hello

I would like to change the url of the git repo for sharing snippets. The reason is that for some to me unkown reason I can't use https:// repo urls with git behind our firewall und proxy configuration.

Failed to push snippets to remote Git repo. 
Reason: https://git.eclipse.org/r/recommenders/org.eclipse.recommenders.snipmatch.snippets.git: 
cannot open git-receive-pack

When contributing to other projects I fall back to ssh:// which will probably be

ssh://<user>@git.eclipse.org:29418/recommenders/org.eclipse.recommenders.snipmatch.snippets.git

for the snippets repo, correct?

Is it possible to wire "Share Snippets" to use another repo url?

Looking forward to sharing! Smile

Thanks
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Unfortunately, you cannot change the URL for the default repository.

You can however create a new one which works over SSH.
1. Open the Snippets View
2. Right-Click on the "Eclipse Code Recommenders Snippet Repository" repository and select "Disable Repository"
3. Right-Click again and select "Add Repository"
4. Choose The "Git-Based Snippet Repository"
5. Enter any name, for example "Eclipse Code Recommenders Snippet Repository - SSH"
6. As Fetch URI enter: http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/recommenders/org.eclipse.recommenders.snipmatch.snippets.git
7. As Push URI enter "ssh://<username>git.eclipse.org/r/recommenders/org.eclipse.recommenders.snipmatch.snippets.git"
8. As Branch prefix enter "refs/for"

This will push to the same repository over SSH rather than HTTPS.
Make sure that you never activate both the default (HTTPS push) repos and the new (SSH push) repo at the same time.

I hope this helps.
