EDIT: this guy do exactly the same with success, can't figure out why it's not working for me.

I've just installed git and setup permissions/SSH authentication with public/private key (Centos 6.5). I'm able to pull/push without problems using i.e.:

git clone [email protected]:projects/boilerplate-template

Username is git, code placed in /home/git/projects, repository created with git --init --shared boilerplate-template.

How can I require boilerplate-template with Bower in another project?

I've tried with the following bower.json file without luck:

{
    "name": "my/newproject",
    "dependencies": {
        "boilerplate-template": "git://code.organization.com:projects/boilerplate-template"
    }
}

ECMDERR: Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://code.organization.com:projects/boilerplate-template, exit code 128 unable to lookup code.organization.com (port project)...

Sadly it fails because :project is not the port but the path. I've also tried with ssh:// instead of git://:

ENOTFOUND: Package ssh://code.organization.com:projects/boilerplate-template not found.

Ok, found the solution here: Using Bower as the Package Management tool for Internal, Private Libraries. Simply remove git:// or ssh:// and add .git suffix:

"[email protected]:projects/boilerplate-template.git#~1"
