Can I use SSH and HTTPS both for single git account?-CodePudding

If i use SSH then I have to download git repository using git ssh but if I use HTTPS then https is the way.

Can I download those git repo using both way for a single account?

CodePudding user response：

The account is what the remote hosting service will use to authenticate you and determine if you have the right to access the remote repository you want to clone.

for HTTPS, it will be the username/password
for SSH, it will be the public key published to your remote account profile setting (while the actual remote user for an SSH session is almost always a technical account like 'git': git@remoteServer:Me/MyRepository)

If the remote hosting service supports both protocols, the same user account can clone using either one of them.

If you are using HTTPS, make sure:

to create a PAT (Personal Access Token) that you will use as password
to check or set a credential helper (to cache those credentials)

That is:

git config --global credential.helper

I recommend setting it to manager-core, using the Microsoft Git Credential Manager (GCM) (cross-platform).
It is already packaged/set with Git For Windows for instance.
