Is there a way to use private git repository with Berkshelf

Question

I created a cookbook named foo, and want to use with Berkshelf.

I wrote like this in Berksfile:

cookbook 'foo', git: 'https://bitbucket.org/ironsand/cookbook-foo.git'

Then vendor the cookbook to cookbooks directory, but it failed with error like this:

berks vendor cookbooks
Resolving cookbook dependencies...
Fetching 'foo' from https://bitbucket.org/ironsand/cookbook-foo.git (at master)
Username for 'https://bitbucket.org':

How can I tell ssh username and key to Berkshelf? Of course my user have right to access the git repository.

If you want to use the "ssh username and key", have you tried specifying an SSH URL ? – Flapdoodle

I want to know how to specify the ssh URL with berks command. – Volkman

From bershelf documentation: "If you need to reference a private Github repository then you should use the :git location with the ssh protocol." So see @Flapdoodle link in SSH URL... – Heptagonal

Oh, now I got what @Flapdoodle means, thanks! – Volkman

Answer 1

If you want to use ssh authentication with your git provider, you need to use an SSH URL. Try something like this:

cookbook 'foo', git: '[email protected]/ironsand/cookbook-foo.git'

That will use your SSH key to authenticate.
