    Hey, I've tried for about an hour but I can't get any combination of keys/settings working. Can anyone provide an example of a working configuration?

    Here's one I tried that does not work, for instance:

    ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -C "[email protected]"
# Add key to GitHub
gitomatic -privkey ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitomatic ./

    Shows this error:

    git-o-matic
cannot parse key: ssh: unhandled key type

    This project is pretty cool but is not working ATM.

  • Cant run without privkey existing and not working for public github repos

    Cant run without privkey existing and not working for public github repos

    So I have two issues, firstly on a brand new ubuntu box with a user who has no key running the tool gives me the error:

    cannot parse key: open /root/.ssh/id_rsa: no such file or directory

    I tried passing in garbage but it says that its not a valid pem.

    After generating a key at the expected location and trying to use this on a public git repo it won't work. I tried adding a fake username and password but it just says:

    cannot pull from repository: authentication required

    Is it possible to allow a no-auth option and just let git try seeing as its already setup to be able to pull public https repos?

  • Error cannot pull from repository

    Error cannot pull from repository

    So, I have been interested to use git-o-matic to deploy some internal network containers using git-hooks automatically.

    The way I have in mind is using git-o-matic to automatically pull changes in my develop branch and use my post-merge hooks (Already working) to restart the container with said new code.

    My problem is I keep getting the following message:

    2020/02/17 15:04:57 Checking repository: .
2020/02/17 15:04:57 Pulling changes...
cannot pull from repository: non-fast-forward update

    The way I am launching it in my server is:

    gitomatic -privkey <path-to-my-deploy-key> -pull=true -push=false <path-to-my-local-repo>

    Any help regarding getting this to work would be appreciated.

  • Check before exit when an interrupt is received

    Check before exit when an interrupt is received

    This PR changes the program to do one final pull and push before exiting the process when an interrupt is received.

    The use case I have is as follows: I have a simple script which opens a texteditor to edit notes and uses a forked gitomatic to push any changes. When the editor closes, I terminate gitomatic, however that means changes won't be pushed by gitomatic until the next run.

  • Add ability to not commit when on certain branches

    Add ability to not commit when on certain branches

    It would be nice to have a few protected branches passable as command line options. Something so that I can just leave this running and don't commit to a release branch a bunch accidentally.
