Gitolite - remote: FATAL: fingerprinting failed for 'keydir/'

Question

I installed Gitolite in my system to manage the repositories. When i try to add any of the client machine\'s public key, am getting the error \"remote: FATAL: fingerprinting

Answer 1

As I documented in "Getting fatal: object is corrupted when pushing to a remote repo", this is due to an incorrect ssh key.

I like to generate my private/public keys like so (not password protected):

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f "$HOME/.ssh/git" -C "Gitolite access (not interactive)" -q -P ""
