Changing your git-keeper password

To change your password on the git-keeper server you first need to log on to the server using ssh like this:

ssh username@gitkeeper.wooster.edu

Replace username with your username. You will need to enter your current git-keeper password.

If you logged in successfully, you will have a new prompt that looks like this:

username@gitkeeper:~>

Now any commands that you run will be run on the git-keeper server rather than your local machine. Generally you will NOT want to run commands on the git-keeper server. Changing your password is probably the only reason you will ever need to log on to the server with ssh.

Now that you have logged on, you can change your password by running this command:

passwd

You will need to enter your current password, and then enter and confirm a new password.

Once you have changed your password you can log out by running exit or by pressing ctrl + d.
