Using a remote repository with non-standard port

by

SSH based git access method can be specified in <repo_path>/.git/config using either a full URL or an SCP-like syntax, as specified in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone:

URL style:

url = ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/

SCP style:

url = [user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git/

Notice that the SCP style does not allow a direct port change, relying instead on an ssh_config host definition in your ~/.ssh/config such as:

Host my_git_host
HostName git.some.host.org
Port 24589
User not_a_root_user

Then you can test in a shell with:

ssh my_git_host

and alter your SCP-style URI in <repo_path>/.git/config as:

url = my_git_host:path/to/repo.git/
