Convert HTTPS github clones to use SSH

REPO_URL=`git remote -v | grep -m1 '^origin' | sed -Ene's#.*(https://[^[:space:]]*).*#\1#p'`
if [ -z "$REPO_URL" ]; then
  echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify Repo url."
  echo "   It is possible this repo is already using SSH instead of HTTPS."
  exit

if [ -z "$USER" ]; then
  echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify User."
  exit

echo "      to "
echo "  '$NEW_URL'"
echo ""

CHANGE_CMD="git remote set-url origin $NEW_URL"
`$CHANGE_CMD`

echo "Success"

This is what I use for changing my remote from HTTPS to SSH, and it works for any repository (Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket or private Git server):

#The if condition is for checking your remote HTTPS URL has `.git` at the end or not
if git config --get remote.origin.url | grep -P '\.git$' >/dev/null; then 
    newURL=`git config --get remote.origin.url | sed -r 's#(http.*://)([^/]+)/(.+)$#git@\2:\3#g'`
else
    newURL=`git config --get remote.origin.url | sed -r 's#(http.*://)([^/]+)/(.+)$#git@\2:\3.git#g'`
fi;

echo "Does this new url look fine? (y/n) : " $newURL
read response
if [[ "$response" == "y" ]]; then 
    git remote set-url origin $newURL; 
    echo "Git remote updated."; 
else 
    echo "Git remote unchanged."; 
fi;

Fixed an error on line 5. Unexpected ; after else.

@ptanmay143 Thanks for the fix for the typo bug. I've updated my comment as well.

Awesome! Made my life so much easier.

Hi folks! FYI git supports this as a configurable nowadays:

git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

Thank you so much

Nice work! Thanks!

To note, @m14t is simply running one command here, but is gathering useful information from the 30 lines above. If you know the SSH URL, you can simple run,

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:username/repo-name-here.git

Where username is the username of the repo owner and repo-name-here is the name of that user's repository.

The URL can be found in the repositories homepage in this box,

I hope that helps!

Thanks for the help !

Thank you so much guys!

Point to be noted is that if you use Xcode with Swift Package Manager then this is going to cause issues for you as Xcode by default doesn't respect this , and continues to use its own way of doing things. It is a really irritating bug. You can check this SO question for more details

@brettalton thanks for the one liner!

Hi, in case someone need to get git remote url as https, whatever your remote Git repository settings are.

[ -z "${GITHOST}" ] && GITHOST="github.com"
[ -z "${GITBRANCH}" ] && GITBRANCH="origin"
git remote -v \
| grep "${GITBRANCH}" | grep fetch | head -n 1 \
| sed -re 's~\s+\(fetch\)$~~' \
      -re 's~([^/ :]+/[^/ :]+)$~#\1~;s~^[^#]+#+~~' \
      -re 's~(github\.com)~\1/~' \
      -re '/^https?:\/\//!s~^~https://'"${GITHOST}"'/~'

If your https url include user:password, like https://user:[email protected]/username/reponame, then you should use this:

REPO_URL=$(git remote -v | grep -m1 '^origin' | sed -Ene's#.*(https://[^[:space:]]*).*#\1#p')

echo "$REPO_URL"
if [ -z "$REPO_URL" ]; then
    echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify Repo url."
    echo "   It is possible this repo is already using SSH instead of HTTPS."
    exit
fi

USER=$(echo "$REPO_URL" | sed -Ene's#https://.*github.com/([^/]*)/(.*).git#\1#p')
if [ -z "$USER" ]; then
    echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify User."
    exit
fi

REPO=$(echo "$REPO_URL" | sed -Ene's#https://.*github.com/([^/]*)/(.*).git#\2#p')
if [ -z "$REPO" ]; then
    echo "-- ERROR:  Could not identify Repo."
    exit
fi

NEW_URL="[email protected]:$USER/$REPO.git"
echo "Changing repo url from "
echo "  '$REPO_URL'"
