commit local changes to the local repository and push the changes to the iis server.
check for update with git pull.



Generating a ssh key-pair

  • start puttygen.exe

  • optional and i don't know if TortoiseGit can handle passphrase protected keys: you can type in a passphrase to protect your key - then you will be asked for it every time you connect
  • save private and public key

  1. Git → Remote (and click on “Add new”)
    • insert url: ssh:/ /username@iis.uibk.ac.at:2222/projects/git/REPONAME
    • PuTTy Key: select the private key you generated

Pulling a Repository

right click on the directory (git repository)
