How to solve Permission denied (publickey) error when using Git?

Question

I\'m on Mac Snow Leopard and I just installed git.

I just tried

git clone git@thechaw.com:cakebook.git

but that gives

Answer 1

In my MAC I solved this with:

cp ~/.ssh/github_rsa ~/.ssh/id_rsa

For some reason my git stopped to find the private key in the github_rsa file. This happened in a specific repo. I mean that in other repositories git kept working normally.

I think it's a bug.

I could find this behavior running ssh -vT git@github.com
