[users at bb.net] Using SSH keys with GitPoller and Git step?

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Chris
What I usually do is to put the credentials into the ~/.gitconfig of the
worker.
You can use the insteadOf directive of the gitconfig so that you buildbot
looks like
git://myserver_id/repo

Then you gitconfig has something like:

[url "ssh://bot:password@myserver.mycompany.com/"]
    insteadOf=git://myserver_id/

Note that the best practice is to use ssh keys, instead of password. We are
currently working at a nice method to get the master send ssh keys and
other creds securely to the worker just for the time of a step.

Regards
Pierre
