Holà !
When you want to add on your local workstation a remote repository so you can push your work there, you may have executed a command similar to this one :
- git remote add web ssh://example.server.tld/home/user/git/project.git
and then, when you would like to push your modifications (and create a master branch), you did
- git push web +master:refs/heads/master
but this time, git asked for your password, and if your workstation username is different from your username on the server, well, you gonna have a bad time !
Any way, i have the solution for you:
First you have to remove the remote from your local repository :
- git remote rm web
and then recreate it but this time changing the url style
- git remote add web yourusernameontheserver@example.server.tld:/home/user/git/project.git
and now, when you push your work

* [new branch] master -> master
Yeeha ! 
I create configuration in my `~/.ssh/config` file like this:
Host repo
Hostname example.com
User myuser
This way I can easily ssh to the server or run git commands by specifying simply `repo` as the “hostname” instead of the full `myuser@example.com`.
And btw, a simpler way to push a branch to your remote is like this:
bzr push remotename branchname
When you run it for the first time, it’s good to include the `-u` flag as well, to set up your local branch to “track” the remote branch. That way next time you can push the branch there with simply `git push`, without additional parameters.
An even greater benefit of tracking the remote is that the status command will give you useful reminders when you are a few revisions behind or ahead of the remote, so that you know that “it’s time to push again”, or pull again.
Wow, i didn’t know we can do that
Indeed, it’s much easier that way!
Thanks for the tip.
THANK YOU. This was a huge help.
