git push with different user than current unix user

I'm trying to create a new repo with git. The server is https. I'm logged in as another user which isn't authorized to push into the server. Can I push with a specific username? I do the following:

git remote add origin ssh://git.example.com/repo/project.git
git config auth
git config credential.https://git.example.com/repo/project.git [email protected]
git push -v origin master

For example I get asked to login as vagrant, not [email protected]:

vagrant@lucid64:~/django_projects$ git push origin master
[email protected]'s password:

There is a small wrong in your git config credential.https....

It should be :

git config credential.https://github.com/repo/project\.git.username [YOUR_EMAIL]

Should be ' project\.git ', not ' project.git '.

Do not forget the ' \ ', escape character.

You can less .git/config to check it out:

[credential "https://github.com/repo/project.git"]
    username = [YOUR_EMAIL]

git config is doing the same job as vim .git/config.

git config --global is doing the same job as vim ~/.gitconfig

You can man git-config and man gitcredentials for more information.

Try: git remote set-url origin ssh://[email protected]/repo/project.git
