Problem Description

I need to clone a private repository in github to my remote server in centOS. How could I can achieve this?

The Solutions

Here are the steps to clone a private repository from GitHub to your remote server running CentOS:

1. Generate a new SSH key (if you haven’t already): You’ll need an SSH key to establish a secure connection with GitHub. On your CentOS server, you can generate a new SSH key with the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
1

Replace "your_email@example.com" with your email address. When asked to “Enter a file in which to save the key,” press Enter to accept the default location.

2. Add the SSH key to the ssh-agent:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
1
2

3. Add the new SSH key to your GitHub account:

   • Copy the SSH key to your clipboard with the command: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
   • Go to GitHub, and click on your profile photo, then click Settings.
   • In the user settings sidebar, click Deploy keys.
   • Click Add deploy key.
   • Paste your key into the “Key” field and add a title.
   • Click Add SSH key.

4. Clone the repository: Now you can clone your private repository using the SSH URL:

git clone git@github.com:username/repo.git
1

Replace username with your GitHub username and repo with the name of your repository.

Remember, these commands are run on your CentOS server. If you’re not currently logged into your server, you can use ssh to log in.

Please replace all instances of your_email@example.com, username, and repo with your actual email, username, and repository name respectively.
