when I am trying to clone a rails app repo I have got permission to, I am getting this issue.
Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Even after adding public key by generating one, I am unable to solve this.
Although I am able to clone using he https method but after making changes, the same error comes while I try to push the code.
Please suggest an answer for this.
First, cd into your .ssh directory. Open up the terminal and run:
cd ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen Second, you need to copy this to your clipboard:
cat id_rsa.pub | pbcopy # On OSX cat id_rsa.pub | xclip # On Linux Third, add your newly generated ssh key to your account via the github/bitbucket website (just paste there).
Next, setup your git config:
git config --global user.name 'your_user_name' git config --global user.email 'your_email' Finally, restart your command line to make sure the config is reloaded.
Now, you should be able to clone and push from/to your github repository.
For more information on this, see this github page or this bitbucket page.
Check few things.
Is the generated new key is the one your ssh agent using when trying to ssh to server. (Your ssh agent might be using a different key than the one you generated) use this to list currently loaded keys by agent.
ssh-add -L
You properly added public key to your repository hosting location.
The keys corresponding to above 1 and 2 should match.
Please see this article: GitHub: Generating SSH Keys. What happens when you run:
ssh -T git@bitbucket.org ?
You may have added the wrong key to authenticate with.
