How to push to git on EC2

Question

I have a local git repo and when I do a git push, I need the repo to be pushed to my EC2 instance. But, in the above tutorial, when I do a git push origin master, I get Permission denied (publickey) error because I did not specify the identity file. Say, I login to EC2 like this: ssh -i my_key.pem [email protected] So, can I do something similar here to: git -i my_key.pem push origin master or set the identity file in .git/config So, how can I set it up? Update: Output of git config -l user.name=my name [email protected] github.user=userid core.repositoryformatversion=0 core.filemode=true core.bare=false core.logallrefupdates=true core.ignorecase=true remote.origin.url=ec2_id@my_e2_ip_address:express_app remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* Select the correct answer from above options

Try this to copy your local ssh key to Amazon cat ~/.ssh/id_?sa.pub | ssh -i amazon-private-key.pem ec2-user@ec2-instance-public-dns "cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys" Replace the key names and also the public DNS of your amazon ec2 instances After this, you will be able to set up your remote on Amazon
