I am using a fresh install of Visual Studio 2017 (15.8.1), and Git tools.
When I try to clone an existing GitHub repository, either by using the commandline tools, or by using git tools, I receive the following error message:
git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I believe this error is caused by SSH and I cannot seem to make git use HTTPS. Thanks in advance.
If you are using 2-factor authentication at GitHub
You must either do one of the following:
Use the SSH link, add an SSH key to your GitHub account and load it using the SSH agent in Windows, this may be done using Putty.
Generate a personal access token, and use the HTTPS link. Use your GitHub username as the username, but use the generated access token as your password.
If you want to clone any repository using https
Simply clone it using the HTTPS-link instead of the SSH link. You can find both links here, by clicking on Use SSH, you can switch to the SSH link:
In my case, I had to delete ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, so that a new one will be made next time you access git over ssh.

I want to perform CI/CD on remote server running on windows for hosting my VueJs project. For doing that I have performed the following steps
I have added my ssh of my local machine to remote server as authorised keys and I am able to access the admin(cmd) remote server via ssh by using the following command.
ssh remote_server#<ip_address>
Using the above command the git bash opens cmd with following location c:/users/remote_user1 of remote server where I had added ssh of my local machine as authorized key.
I created bare git repo in C:/users/remote_user1 by logging in remote computer by rdp using the following command
git init test.git --bare
I gave Full access rights to test.git from remote server
I tried to clone test.git on my local machine using the command from git bash
git clone ssh://remoteserver#<ip_address>:/test.git
when I use the command from my local machine I get the error message from git bash
fatal: ''/test.git'' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I am not able to understand what am I am doing wrong here, Please guide me on this.
The format for ssh urls must be one of :
# 'ssh://' url :
ssh://remoteserver#<ip_address>/test.git
# scp-like syntax :
remoterserver#<ip_address>:test.git
(link to docs)
The url you posted contains a :/ which makes it a mixture of both, you should modify this url to match one of the two accepted formats.
I'm on a Windows 10 machine and I have both Git Bash and Ubuntu for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installed. When I use GitHub's official desktop app to clone a repo via HTTPS everything works fine and I can push my commits via Visual Studio Code with no problems whatsoever. I then try to clone a repo via SSH with Hyper (WSL Bash) and get this:
The authenticity of host 'domain.com (a.b.c.d)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is XX:XX:...:XX.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
After answering yes and openning that repo in VS Code and try to push my new changes to GitHub, I get this error:
Git: Host key verification failed.
And this is what I get as Git Log in Output:
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I have set up my SSH key on WSL using this method and I didn't set up any passphrase. I tried this on my brother's PC which is exactly set up like mine and it worked just fine. I would appreciate any help!
UPDATE: I typed ssh -T git#github.com in Hyper and got this as an answer: You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
P.S. I'm a newbie in programming and stackoverflow, so please be concise and give me step by step instructions. The more you use technical terms, the more I'll probably get lost!
Try first, for that new push, to do it in command line:
cd c:\path\to\local\repo
git status
git log
git remote -v
git push -u origin master
Make sure that:
git status is clean (no pending changes)
git log shows you at least one commit
git remote -v shows you as origin the URL of your remote GitHub repository
(as an SSH URL git#github.com:<you>/<yourRepo>)
Then push, and go back to VSCode.
Should be faster than the other solution:
In vscode open a new terminal of type "Command Prompt"
Run: git push and accept the new key when prompted.
This will store the remote key for future use.
I have created a project in bitbucket and trying to push code using intellij git. When I created the project bitbucket gave me commands to run within git. Here are the commands I ran and the error I got:
git remote add origin ssh://git#bitbucket.org/[username]/[repo]
git push -u origin master
This looks strange because how is this command suppose to authenticate me? Now here is error I got.
Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote
repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository
exists.
Any ideas?
That is because you are creating your project via ssh and for that you need to create and registrate SSH keys.
Create ssh key
If you don't want that, create your project only via https
Do you have the ssh key added to your computer?
If you're using oSX El Capitan or newer you'll need to add these every time you restart. osx ssh keys
How to add ssh keys
I am trying to add repository via Xcode > Settings > Accounts and I am stuck on the proper address. Address of our repo is quite simple: my.domain.com:port/project-name. Authentication via SSH Keys. Could someone help me to understand what's going on here? See screenshot below.
By the way running git clone git+ssh://git#my.domain.com:port/project-name works fine.
EDIT
Running git clone without git+ssh//
git clone git#my.domain.cz:2222/project-name
or
git clone git#my.domain.cz:22/project-name
is giving me same error:
ssh: connect to host my.domain.cz port 22: Connection refused
fatal: Could not read from remote repository
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Xcode accepts just ssh://git#my.domain.cz:2222/project-name.
The git protocol is somehow redundant in this case. Raw git tools don't have a problem with it, but Xcode does not like it for some reason.
It always fails for me when I use existing ssh keys.
I created a new ssh key pair through Xcode and uploaded the public key to the git server (in my case, Phabricator), and it works.
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.
