Egit with remote Git server [message #663697]

Hi guys

I got a problem with using Egit. I got a remote git server, I can reach it with git extenions, but I can't reach it with Egit.

In every tutorial they describe how to use Egit with github. But I don't use github, I want to use my own server.

Does Egit also creates the git folder on my git server when i push it and it isn't there?

Kind regards

Maikel

Which protocol do you use to access your server?

Do you have configured Eclipse correctly to use your SSH key? As default Eclipse looks for the SSH keys in the folder %userhome%\ssh, whereas MSysGit and GitExtensions (if you use OpenSSH as SSH client) look in %userhome%\.ssh

Everything is configured correctly. My public key and private key are in the %homefolder%\ssh directory.

But when I try to push it gives this error:
ssh://git@172.16.100.101/repositories/EgitTest.git: fatal: '/repositories/EgitTest.git' does not appear to be a git repository

OK, the repository isn't there, but normally it would create it?

Even if I change it to a real git repository it gives that error.

ssh://git@172.16.100.101/repositories/EgitTest.git
Is my URI, my git repo's are filed under /home/git/repositories/

So normally this would be correct. If I change it to
ssh://git@172.16.100.101/EgitTest.git

it still gives that error, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I really want this plugin to work, because all the other plugins for development software I user are still in development and not working correctly

Ok, it works, the only thing that it doesn't do is create a git repository on the server.

Is it possible to do that with Egit? Or does the git repo needs to exist on the server?

EDIT: I converted my putty ssh key to openssh format, so Eclipse can use it, but when I try to fetch, it gives me the next message
git@server:EgitTest.git: Auth fail

K, the changing of the ssh key works.

Now I'm only searching for a method to let eGit create a repository on the remote server. I hope this is possible
