I set ./git/config file like this.
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/haradashinya/dotfiles.git
It's pushed my github's repository but it asks for my username and password. So, I set my url to ssh style, like this:
url = git#github.com:haradashinya/dotfiles.git
But it outputs an error message saying 'Permission denied (publickey)'.
Why this happened?
Even if you have defined ssh keys, you need to be sure HOME is defined (which isn't the case on Windows for instance, unless you are using a DOS session from git-cmd.bat shipped with msysgit): see "Trying to “install” github, .ssh dir not there".
In that same HOME directory, you could also record your https GitHub credential (username and password) if you still want to use the https address: see "change github account mac command line" for an example.
You need to add your SSH key to your github account here: https://github.com/settings/ssh
If you haven't generated an SSH key, or you don't know how to generate an SSH key, or you don't understand how to add it to your github account, github provides detailed instructions here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys
I've followed with https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey instructions.
And I resolved my problem by ssh-add 'my-id-rsa-path' command.
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa;
ssh -vT git#github.com #-> success!
Thanks for help!

I have a site on CyberPanel, user "thows3051" and want to use git to manage my site. But when I try ssh -T git#github.com I get git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey)..
If I ssh into the server on that user ssh thows3051#mysite.com, into the .ssh directory, there is a thows3051.pub file which I copied the contents into the repo on github under "deploy keys".
EDIT
Was able to explicitly use the correct key with ssh -i ~/.ssh/thows3051 -T git#github.com which shows You've successfully authenticated....
So my question is why isn't the user using the right ssh key?
Thanks in advance
Was able to fix it. I'm not sure what key was being used, if any?
But if you create a file in ~/.ssh/config, you can put the following inside:
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/thows3051
And it will use that key.
Note that you can set specific keys for certain hosts, for example:
Host github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github.key
I cannot clone the project although
ssh -T git#gitlab.com
shows what I want: Welcome to GitLab, #vagnerwentz!.
The error during cloning:
Cloning into 'jobfygo'...
Username for 'https://gitlab.com': vagnerwentz
Password for 'https://vagnerwentz#gitlab.com':
remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.com/jobfy/backend/jobfygo.git/'
I resolved changing the SSH Key to RSA Key.
First, you are cloning with an HTTPS URL, which means all your SSH settings is for naught.
Second, regarding HTTPS, double-check if you have 2FA activated, because if you do, your password would actually be a PAT (Personal Access Token)
Third, if you do want to use SSH, then use the SSH URL:
git#gitlab.com:jobfy/backend/jobfygo.git
By default, such an url would use the default private SSH key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.
So if you have a key with another name, you would need to:
either rename it to id_rsa
specify it directly ssh -i /path/to/second/private/key
use a ~/.ssh/config file
I just created a personal GitLab account and am trying to follow the steps on
https://gitlab.com/help/ssh/README
to deploy my SSH key to GitLab. I've completed up to step 5, and see my SSH key among 'Your SSH keys' in my User Settings -> SSH keys:
I'm trying to now complete the optional 6th step, testing the key:
My GitLab username is khpeek, so I guessed my 'GitLab domain' is gitlab.com/khpeek. However, the test command
ssh -T git#gitlab.com/khpeek
yields an error message:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname gitlab.com/khpeek: Name or service not known
Apparently this is the wrong hostname. What would be the right one?
If you're using Gitlab on gitlab.com then the domain is simply gitlab.com so you should run ssh -T git#gitlab.com
Go to clone with ssh. And check the URL link. It should looks like this. git#hostname:project.git. git#hostname this whole part is your hostname.
Open your GitLab account or repository online (any site will do, just make sure your logged in). Then checkout the URL. The domain together with the TLD will be your hostname. E.g.
www.gitlab.your.institution.com/...
So in this case gitlab.your.institution.com is your hostname.
I tried to push my blog (Octopress) to github and got this error:
MacBook-Air:octopress bdeely$ git push origin source
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I generated an SSH key, saved it, and even linked it with my GitHub account in the SSH key settings, but I went ahead and checked the status and got the same error:
MacBook-Air:.ssh bdeely$ ssh -T git#github.com
Permission denied (publickey).
In addition to this, I checked github's help page, did the following and got this error message:
MacBook-Air:~ bdeely$ ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix this?
On OSX, if you type
ssh-add -l
and you get back "no identities", that means your ssh agent does not have any identities loaded into it. Oftentimes, when the mac reboots, you have no identities.
I add mine back after a re-boot by explicitly running
ssh-add
This loads a default identity from ~/.ssh/id_rsa
You can also use the ssh-add command with a specific identity
ssh-add ~/foo/bar/is_rsa
After you add your identies, you can seem them all listed by typing
ssh-add -l
Make sure you have at least one listed.
Follow the commands:
mkdir ~/.ssh //in case that the folder doesnt exist...
cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "youremail#somewhere.gr"
#hit enter when asks for file to save the key.
#enter the passphrase
At last copy the id_rsa.pub into your github account.
Try this in your terminal:
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
enter your passphrase if any and it should work. Hope this helps :-)
I hope this helps you:
I was having the identical problem and about to take my own eyes out with insane frustration; nothing online led me to an answer and I was trying to use the git push command without specifying the URL exactly (which could also solve the problem I believe), so I didn't see how the connection was failing.
I had set up my .ssh/config correctly for two users with two different keys, even using IdentitiesOnly yes which is supposed to override ssh-agent that was automatically supplying the WRONG ssh identity.
I finally realized the problem as I examined the local repository configuration - it was the entry
[remote "origin"]
url = git#github.com:{my-username}/{my-repo-name}.git
My configuration in .ssh/config file was using the same HostName github.com entry for both users and I'm completely new to all this so I didn't realize that to correctly override ssh-agent, I had to specify the exact URL or else the specific identities in my .ssh/config file would be ignored and the first key that ssy-agent listed (which was the wrong one my my case) would be used by default.
I fixed this by changing the local repo URL to url = git#github-personal:{my-username}/{my-repo-name}.git, where I had set Host github-personal as the identity in my .ssh/config.
Another way to solve this would be specifying the user in the URL in the git push command itself, or even better, a solution described here in a post AFTER solving this my own crappy way:
https://superuser.com/questions/272465/using-multiple-ssh-public-keys
I can't believe that no official source could offer a solution for or even properly explain this edge-case that seems really common (accessing two different github accounts from one machine with SSL).
I experienced the same problem. The reason was that I moved the key-files to another folder; it worked successfully when I moved them back to where they were originally.
I have a unique problem when accessing a Cygwin based SSH Server through public key (rsa) based authentication.
If I login to the server via password auth:
ssh Administrator#domain.com
I login just fine and can then either execute:
cd //anotherpc/shareName
or cd /backup/anotherpc where this is a symlink to the aforementioned network share
This is successful and I can access anything on that share without issue.
The problem arises if i do the same thing above just after logging in using a public key authentication mechanism.
The error output is:
cd //anotherpc/shareName
-bash: cd: //anotherpc/shareName: Not a directory
Update:
The /etc/sshd_config file has the following commands having removed all commented out lines:
Port 22
StrictModes no
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
Subsystem sftp /usr/sbin/sftp-server
It is extremely strange. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Kind Regards
If you run this command before trying to access a network share, the required authentication token will be created.
net use '\machineName\shareName' /user:"DOMAIN\Username" password
