I set up my SSH key for my account.
When I run git clone in my terminal I usually get Forbidden fatal: could not read from remote repository.
Running ssh-add -l shows the correct authenticated agent.
Running git clone is now asking for my passphrase with the above error message.
Saying "please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists."
I ran ps to make sure there was only one authenticated agent
The clone command is git clone git#bitbucket.org:<filepath>.git
The URL should:
not be git#bitbucket.org:<filepath>.git
but git#bitbucket.org:<account>/<projectname>.git
you can use:
export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -Tv'
You will see which key SSH is using.
Make sure the public key has been registered to your Bitbucket account settings.
But the OP adds:
It's private and I'm not the owner. Does something need to be updated with access settings by the owner?
Then yes, your account needs to be granted access in that repository by its owner.

I'm trying to configure git so I don't have to keep authenticating (and also learn a bit more about git).
I had previously been using password-based authentication, which is repetitive to keep typing in my passwords. I followed the steps (using windows) to set up SSH keys in github. I gave my key a specific name, anticipating that I will need more than one SSH key at some point. It doesn't make sense to always have id_rsa for github! I received the email that the key was successfully created, and I used git bash (because windows) to start the SSH client silently and added my private key. But running a git clone gave me this error:
git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I then had the idea to try it with the default name (id_rsa), rather than my custom name, and of course it works. So my question is how do I avoid this? I don't want the default name to be reserved for github.
You can set up an ssh configuration file to tell the ssh command to use that specific key when connecting to github.
Create the file .ssh/config with the content:
Host github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa_key
Assuming that you've named your private key ~/.ssh/github_rsa_key.
Now try connecting to github:
$ ssh git#github.com
You should see:
Hi <your github username>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
I'm currently using Jenkins on Windows 10, and using git as version control system.
Although I provided correct repository URL and credential, I cannot use jenkins with error below.
Failed to connect to repository : Command "git.exe ls-remote -h REPOSITORY_URL HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: git#URL: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Credential and URL doesn't seems wrong, since this build success previously with same credential. The only change after successful build was one line in build script.
git config --global core.sshCommand C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe
After I success with this script, git setting keeps failed. Is there any problem with that line? And how can I fix it?
EDIT
Problem solved! For anyone who has same problem, it was problem with the system user! Since ssh key stores in each user space, jenkins cannot detect where the ssh key located. Therefore, go to 'service' in windows, and change user of jenkins service to the user who has correct ssh key. It solved my problem!
Seems there is some problem in Jenkins.
It cannot locate OpenSSH folder in System32, and so that I cannot get log with it.
That would explain why the main Jenkins controller (aka "master" in old terminology) cannot contact the Git repository (assuming an SSH URL here, with technical remote user account "git")
Try and remove that git configuration to see if the error persists: Git should fall back to its own ssh.exe, packaged with Git For Windows.
As noted by the OP, this only works if said Jenkins is run as a user account, not as the system account.
Only then will it be able to access the %USERPROFILE%\.ssh folder.
Due to my customer's privacy requirement, I've got create multiple account to access different git. With some helps, I've created the file config and multiple ssh keys in dir ~/.ssh. Using terminal, I've been able to perform all kind of action to the git. However, if I use XCode to perform those action, it stated that failed to authenticate.
This is the content of ~/.ssh/config:
Host bitbucket.org
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host bitbucket-myAccount2
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/acc2ssh
Inside ~/.ssh/, I've already had id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, acc2ssh, acc2ssh.pub. id_rsa is my usual git account, and acc2ssh is the other private account.
If I use terminal, it's alright, but it ask for passphrase everytime.
$ git remote -v
origin git#bitbucket-myAccount2:privateTeam/project.git (fetch)
origin git#bitbucket-myAccount2:privateTeam/project.git (push)
$ git pull
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/$myUser/.ssh/acc2ssh':
Already up-to-date.
How do I config this to work in both xcode and terminal?
Additional question: How do I make the terminal to remember my passphrase?
UPDATE
Due to the confusion, I'll add more details about the git remote:
I'm checkout out the git via:
$ git clone git#bitbucket-myAccount2:privateTeam/project.git
Because if I use the ssh provided from bitbucket, it won't work (access denied):
$ git clone git#bitbucket.org:privateTeam/project.git
repository access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
But Xcode seems to doesn't recognize the host bitbucket-myAccount2 as #Jakuje pointed out. Maybe I'm missing something here?
XCode (most probably) does not read your ~/.ssh/config because it is not based on OpenSSH. You should use just the hostname as it is and provide the correct private key.
If the other one (in default location) is still picked up, move it away/rename from default location (~/.ssh/id_rsa) and update the ~/.ssh/config to reflect this change. For example:
Host bitbucket.org
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa2
I'm trying to set up MS WebMatrix to use a Git repository from my siteground hosting account. I created the repository using their cpanel plugin and it tells me that I can clone it using this command
git clone ssh://username#sm3.siteground.biz:18765/home/username/public_html/
I replaced username of course and I created an rsa key using ssh-keygen. In the Webmatrix GUI it just opens a window saying "Clone is in progress" but it doesn't to anything.
And when I run that command in PowerShell, this is the output:
Cloning into 'public_html'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Any help is highly appreciated!
EDIT:
I haven't used github before but I'm pretty sure I'm not connecting to it. The repository is on siteground's server I think. Anyway, I couldn't figure it out in PowerShell so now I'm using putty to load the appropriate key and connect using an external git tool (source tree) that doesn't use the same ssh client as PowerShell. That is the solution that's working for me now.
I'll leave this question open as maybe someone comes around and can help with how to set this up using PowerShell.
The missing piece to the Siteground guide is:
Create a blank file in ~/.ssh/ or C:\Users\username\.ssh on your computer. It does not matter what you name it. I named it siteground_dsa. You could also name it id_dsa_siteground.
Copy the private ssh key that you get from siteground.com and paste the whole of it in the this newly created file.
Open Git Bash locally on your computer and run the following command
$ eval ssh-agent -s
Then run the following. Remember to use the filename that you gave it.
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/siteground_dsa
Now you need to enter the passphrase for the ssh key. You will have defined it when creating the ssh key.
Now you should be logged in and you can run git clone the directory of your wish.
git clone ssh://username#ams14.siteground.eu:18765/home/username/public_html/
To permanently add the SSH key extend ~/.ssh/config with the following and updating server_name and username.
Host server_name
User username
Port 18765
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/siteground_dsa
keep in mind that for Windows operators, you should write eval $(ssh-agent)
eval $(ssh-agent)
chmod 600 file_name
ssh-add C:\Users\username\.ssh\siteground
Then you can easily clone your file into your local server following inserting your passphrase of the SSH key.
GitHub isn't able to authenticate you. Probably your key isn't associated with your GitHub account.

I've just installed gitolite on my Debian server.
Then I cloned gitolite-admin repo and and new public key + following lines to conf file:
repo wallr_common
RW+ = wall
New repo was created after push.
At first I go to authorized_keys and saw that key for new user not exists, then I run ~/.gitolite/keydir$ gl-setup, and the key appears in authorized_keys.
Now I'm trying to clone it but I'm getting error:
git.exe clone --progress -v "ssh://wall#192.168.1.110:/wallr_common.git" "D:\wallr_common"
Cloning into 'D:\wallr_common'...
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (5834 ms # 04.07.2013 0:27:46)
What can be the root cause of this?
You must use the git or gitolite account for your ssh session. Not the user account wall that you registered in gitolite.
That means ssh://git#..., instead of ssh://wall#....
Replace 'git' with the account you used to install gitolite.
See more at "How do programs like gitolite work?".
This is a similar mistake as in this question.
