This procedure describes how to install and configure Git in order to store all
your project data, such as Jobs, Database connections, Routines, Joblets, data models,
processes, or stored procedures, in the shared Repository of the Talend Studio.
For more information on the supported Git servers, see Compatible version control systems.
Note: This procedure might not be necessary if the Git server you install already provides
Git and you do not need it on your local machine.
Procedure
-
Download the Git version corresponding to your system at https://git-scm.com/downloads and follow the installation
instructions.
-
Create an SSH key pair.
-
Open the Git Bash.
-
Generate a new key by using the following command, where
email is the email address of the Git server account:
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 256 -m PEM -C "email"
-
When you are prompted to enter a file in which to save the key, press Enter
to accept the default file location, or type a name and press Enter.
-
When you are prompted to enter a passphrase, press Enter to leave it
empty.
-
Put the generated key file in the
C:\Users\User_Name\.ssh folder.
-
Add the public key to the settings of your Git server.
-
Create a known-hosts file by executing the following command:
ssh-keyscan.exe -H git_server_hostname >>
known_hosts
-
If you are using multiple SSH private keys, create a
config file in your .ssh folder
and add the following content in the file to specify which key file is used for
which Git server.
Warning: This config
file takes precedence over the Eclipse configuration.
Host <git_server1_hostname>
IdentityFile C:/users/username/.ssh/key1
Host <git_server2_hostname>
IdentityFile C:/users/username/.ssh/key2
-
Add the connection information to the Talend Administration Center
configuration. For more information, see Setting up Git parameters in Talend Administration Center
User Guide.
Note:
When running Talend Administration Center as a service, ensure that the known_hosts file is
located in the right folder. If not, copy the known_hosts
file into the
user.home\.ssh folder (or create a
.ssh folder if it does not already exist).
When running Talend Administration Center as a Windows service, user.home is
similar to: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.
