Gitosis cloning out on non-default port

Question

When gitos-admin with

git clone ssh://gitosis@192.168.1.1:gitosis-admin.git

I couldn't connect because ssh is connecting to port 22 and my ssh is running on 2211. So, I searched the internet for a solution. It should be as easy as adding the port to my .ssh/config file. I added the following to the file (which I hat to create)

Host bml
HostName 192.168.1.1
Port 2211

When executing:

git clone ssh://gitosis@bml:gitosis-admin.git

I get the following error:

Cloning into 'gitosis-admin'... ssh: connect to host port 22: Bad file number fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Which suggest that my config file is invalid or my config file is not used.

So... I tested it with a host that didn't exist

git clone ssh://gitosis@bmlsomething:gitosis-admin.git

Which resultated in the same error as before

Cloning into 'gitosis-admin'... ssh: connect to host port 22: Bad file number fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

This suggests that the config file is not used (okey could still be an invalid file, but would expect atleast a different error).

How can I fix this? BTW, I'm on Windows 7 :-s.

Answer 1

According to this, git clone ssh://user@host:port/repository should work.

As far as I'm aware, the ~/.ssh/config is not used by Windows.
