How to connect github desktop to IBM hub.jazz.net


I am attempting to use GitHub Desktop with the Git repository on hub.jazz.net. I cannot figure out how to authenticate with the repository, even after I have tried both the regular Git and Git Enterprise authentication methods.

Any suggestions are welcome.


Solution

  • From the CLI set the remote host of the local repo to jazz.net using this format:

    $ git remote set-url origin https://your_alias:your_IBM_ID_password@hub.jazz.net/alias/project_name
