Uploading code to gitea

hello,

i am trying to upload some code to gitea but i an getting confused, every time i try to do the commands (shown bellow) it tells me to enter a password, i enter my account password but it doesnt work, is there any other passwords to use? i am new to gitea so i dont really know what i am doing.

if someone can help that would be excellent

thanks!

commands

Please paste your Gitea server installation related information.

what do you mean, where can i find that?

I’m guessing it’s asking for git user’s password on the server that’s running Gitea. If you have shell access to the server, kindly try that password.

If it works, then it’s not the expected behavior. The contents of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in git's home directory should give more clues.

list current keys on system ls -al ~/.ssh

look for any of below and choose one

  • id_rsa.pub
  • id_ecdsa.pub
  • id_ed25519.pub

run cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
copy the output except the user@system

then goto Sign In - Gitea: Git with a cup of tea
click add key
choose a title and paste the public key you copied earler

make sure you added the remote origin as ssh

now git push -u origin master
