Git access
Connect to your Git repositories directly from Redmine
Every hosted repository exposes a secure URL inside your Redmine project settings. Follow our quick guide to copy the URL, paste it into TortoiseGit, and authenticate with the credentials you already use for your Redmine account.
Find your repository URL and clone with confidence
Open your Redmine project and copy the Git URL from the repository settings. Then use that URL in TortoiseGit to clone into your local workspace.
How it works
Open your Redmine project, switch to the Repositories tab, and copy the Git URL for the repository you want to clone. If SSL is enabled in your plan, use HTTPS for encrypted access.
