I'm using Aptana Studio 3 version 3.4.2, on Fedora.

I have a git repository set up and am using bit bucket. I had a project that was already set up with a .git file in there, and I added that project to my workspace in Aptana. What happens is that when I try to push from the options available when you right click on a project and go to "Team", Aptana just freezes. Same when I try to do a pull.

One potential explanation is that, I have no problem pushing/pulling from the console, but when I do that there, I am prompted for a password. No such thing happens when I use Aptana, so how does it know my information to be able to do a push without prompting me for a password? Because it freezes very shortly after I tell it to push, I just see in the corner it says "git push " and then it freezes. Note I'm also using HTTPS to push.

Any help would be appreciated.

Depending on the url you are using (https or ssh), you need first to make sure the git push from the console doesn't ask you for a password, because you have cached your credentials:

  • in a ~/.netrc (or %HOME%/netrc for windows), that you can encrypt if you want to.
    This is more secure than putting directly the password in the url: 

    https://username:password@server/url/to/git/repo

  • in an ssh-agent (for the passphrase to be set automatically for you)

Once that works, try again to push from Aptana, as mentioned in "How to get Aptana Studio to remember git ssh password"

  • Thanks for the answer. It didn't work by editing the netrc for me, but maybe I had the format wrong. I basically wrote in the .netrc file: machine login password and it still prompted me. However I edited the git config file to include the password with my login, so it was like username:password@repositorysite.com. That ended up doing the trick. – Dev Sep 01 '13 at 10:16
