Git: Using SSH indentification instead of HTTPS by default

force_git_using_ssh_instead_of_https.md

Sometimes with package manager you can have some troubles to download private Git dependencies (I had trouble with go get in Go with a private repository). If it's an authentication issue, you can force Git to use SSH indentification instead of HTTPS (or opposite) with the following lines:

Add to .gitconfig file:

[url "ssh://git@github.com"]
        insteadOf = https://github.com

Or with command line:

git config --global url."ssh://git@github.com".insteadOf "https://github.com"

---

Of course you can reverse this with the opposite:

[url "https://github.com"]
        insteadOf = ssh://git@github.com

Or with command line:

git config --global url."https://github.com".insteadOf "ssh://git@github.com"
