Gitlab 6.2 asking for username and password authentication when pushing to origin

Question

I'm running GitLab 6.2 on a Linux Debian box and it looks like I can't push to the remote repository from the command line.

Every time I do a

git push -u origin master

it asks for the username and password (I've added the origin as an HTTP remote)

Answer 1

Check that your remotes aren't set to use http/https:

$ git remote -v
origin  https://somedomain.com/username/repo.git (fetch)
origin  https://somedomain.com/username/repo.git (push)

If it looks like the above, try switching to using ssh like so:

$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:username/repo.git
