Be sure to install the appropriate SSH keys to `~/.ssh/id_rsa` (for your redmine user). ## Supporting private repos
I recommend creating a [dedicated machine user](https://developer.github.com/guides/managing-deploy-keys/#machine-users) on github/gitlab for this purpose.
For security sake, we don't support cloning over HTTPS with username password, but only via SSH.
For example:
* This private repo will fail to clone: `https://github.com/dergachev/my-secret-repo`
* Instead, use the SSH form: `git@github.com:evolvingweb/my-secret-repo.git`
If you're going to use the SSH form, you'll need to install the appropriate SSH
keys to `~/.ssh/id_rsa` (in the home directory of your redmine webserver user,
likely www-data).
Some extra tips:
* For GitHub/GitLab, we have found it too troublesome to install repository-specific SSH keys.
Instead we ended up creating recommend creating a
[dedicated account for redmine](https://developer.github.com/guides/managing-deploy-keys/#machine-users)
and installing the keys there.
* On Ubuntu, the `www-data` user's $HOME is `/var/www`, and by default it's owned by root.
That means you might have to do this before installing Redmine:
mkdir /var/www/.ssh
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/.ssh
