We all know that Xcode 9 provide's so many support of Github such as clone, commit, pull, push etc. There is an option on Xcode->preferences to add GitHub account. Here is a screenshot below.

I can add a my Remote(public) GitHub account. We have a private Git server in our office and we access it using this ip (192.168.1.15), but I can not add this Git server account on my Xcode. I already add my personal public GitHub account(shamiul110107) shown in screen bellow.

My question is that how can I add my private Git server account in Xcode 9?

Thanks in advance.

In previous versions of Xcode , ie. prior to Xcode9 you can add your local Git Server account. From Xcode9 that feature has been removed and Github has been integrated with Xcode which allows you to have a control over your Github repositories within Xcode9. However you can still use your Git Server from office without adding an account to Xcode.

  1. Open Xcode
  2. Source Control -> Clone
  3. add the repository URL from your local Git Server (Here I'm using a git Repository from GitHub without adding any account to my Xcode)
  4. Press Clone and Select the save location
  5. The project will create a local repository in your PC
  6. You can add changes and commit and then push

while pushing to the local Git Server ,user credentials is required , which in your case is your username and password for your local Git Server account.

If you already have a local repository that you need to push to a remote, you can use the command-line to add that remote:

  1. Login to the remote server and create a bare repo if it does not exist: git init --bare repo.git

  2. Close Xcode on the local machine.

  3. cd to the Xcode project directory.

  4. Add a remote: git remote add origin ssh://username@host:port/path-to-repo.git

  5. Open Xcode project. You should be able to Source Control > Push to the new remote.

You cannot add a "Git server account", and you don't need to. This has nothing to do with Accounts; you're looking in the wrong place.

If the question is how to clone from a remote repository, choose Source Control -> Clone and enter the required information. Or clone using the command line. Either way, once you have a clone, there is nothing else to do, as the clone contains the remote info.
