If you are only following the project that is perfectly fine. Otherwise, either use "git@..." in remote.origin.url to use git-over-ssh in both directions, or you can use pushurl if you have recent enough version of git, like: [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = git://... pushurl = git@... When you primed your repository with "git clone git://...", it would be nice if "clone" added a "corresponding" pushurl for you. But ... part of the two lines are often different, depending on how hosting site is organized, so unfortunately "clone" cannot do so. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
