Configuring Git SSH on Windows
SSH overview
You can use SSH keys to establish a secure connection between the Bamboo server and the SCM that hosts Git repositories.
- If no Git capability is configured, Bamboo will use its built-in Git implementation: the built-in Git implementation does not support symbolic links, submodules, automatic branch detection and automatic merging.
- Your SCM administrator must have already enabled SSH access to Git repositories.
Supported key types are DSA and RSA2. Note that RSA1 is not supported. We've tested key sizes of 768, 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192 bytes.
Enabling SSH access to Git repositories
To enable SSH access:
You need to set up SSH access when you configure your linked repositories:
- Click the
icon in the Bamboo header and choose Overview. - Click Linked repositories (under 'Build resources')
- Click Add repository, and select Git from the Source repository menu
Complete the following fields:
Field Description Display name The name that identifies the repository when you are using multiple repositories in a plan Repository URL The URL of the Git repository Branch The name of the branch or tag containing the source code - Select SSH private key from the Authentication Key menu
- Select the file containing your SSH key using the 'Choose File' button
- Enter the passphrase to allow access to your SSH key
- Click Save repository
Once you have enabled SSH access, you will also need to add an SSH server capability:
- Click the icon in the Bamboo header and choose Overview.
- Click Server capabilities and scroll to the bottom of the page
- Click Add under the 'Add capability' heading
