so I have a couple of ssh keys that are used for other accounts that I have. I now need to be able to clone a heroku repository on my computer. I created a new ssh key and used heroku keys:add to add it to my heroku account. However when I try and clone the repository I get this error:
Your key with fingerprint: .... is not authorized to access rural-visions. fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
I've heard that I need to create a config file in the .ssh folder, but I don't know what to put into there.
Any help would be really appreciated!
I sometimes have to work with a bunch of heroku accounts, and have run into this. Here's what I usually do:
Clear identities
$ ssh-add -D
ssh-add the key that I need for the current account
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/an_account_key
Now I can push to my heroku app
$ git push heroku-remote master
Of course, this assumes that the key has been added to the heroku account already. You can do that with:
$ heroku keys:add
The correct way to solve this is with an SSH configuration in ~/.ssh/config, but that's a bit much for me since I only switch accounts occasionally.
Googling about the SSH configuration file should turn up plenty of results, but here's some that might help:

I have a Github account with multiple projects.
I have cloned these projects to my windows 10 computer using ssh key.
some time later, it appear my ssh keys were compromise so i delete my ssh on Github and locally, then regenerate new ones :
4096 bits
rsa2
saved the pub as ~/.ssh/git_id_rsa.pub
add the pub key to my Github ssh keys
saved the priv as ~/.ssh/git/git_id_rsa.ppk
converted to Openssh format as ~/.ssh/git_id_rsa
the fact is I want different ssh keys for my different web tools (one for GitHub, one for DigitalOcean, one for OVH cloud, etc...) and I want to specify witch key to use when connecting to each host. thats why I change the default name for the ssh generated with PuttyGen (and converted with the same).
I don't have passphrase on the git_id_rsa.ppk (nor git_id_rsa) keys, as it seems that GitHub dont like them (saw long time ago).
I've configure my (projecytdir)/.git/config like bellow :
[remote "origin"]
url = git#github.com:hdGuild/JenkinsServerOnDO.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
identityfile= ~/.ssh/git_id_rsa
But when I try a Git Pull, I've got the following 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.
Following the following answers I've created the ~/.ssh/config file with the following (using OpenSSH key for GitHub), and it works :
Host github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/git_id_rsa
The fact is that if I need the ~/.ssh/config file, why would I need to configure my local git with (projecytdir)/.git/config as I describe it above ?
I would like to configure my local git to use the right ssh key for Github, without having to explain it in my ~/.ssh/config file.
I'm sure it is (again) a configuration problem and I miss something somewhere, but I can't find where.
Please help :)
thank-you
Okay,
As previously, I answer my own question :D
After some more research, I found this post that explain how to specify in Git local config file, the ssh key to use for git sh connection.
The command is simply, in the above explained case, the following while in project directory :
git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i ~/.ssh/git_id_rsa -F /dev/null"
This way, the git_id-rsa will be used by git for ssh connections on this particular project (as it is a local configuration).
Thank-you for reading.
I have two different accounts where I have to upload changes to, the thing here is that the GitHub account and the Bitbucket account has different email addresses, so I'm trying to configure multiple ssh keys in order to keep committing, pushing and pulling changes from Github and Bitbucket respectively.
I've tried to generate two different ssh-keys by running:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "My.CorporateAddress#company.com"
Then, when asked to enter the file in which to save the key I add this:
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/myUser/.ssh/id_rsa): /Users/myUser/.ssh/id_rsa_github
I do the same steps with the bitbucket one.
Then I generate a file named config and edit it by adding:
Host github
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github
Host bitbucket
HostName corporate-address.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket
But when I run:
ssh -T git#bitbucket
Or:
ssh -T git#github
And try to make a pull request for any of those, I get the following error:
GITHUB 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.
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
BITBUCKET ERROR:
git#bitbucket.corporate.companyName.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
For security reasons, I omitted the company name.
What I'm trying to achieve is the possibility to work with both, my work Bitbucket account and my Personal Github account which are configured with a different email address.
What am I doing wrong? Your feedback will be truly appreciated it!
To test your different key, you should type:
ssh -Tv github
ssh -Tv bitbucket
No need to add the user.
Try again, with the old PEM format
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "xxx#yyyy.com" -m PEM -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "another#yyyy.com" -m PEM -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket
But make sure to add your public keys to your accounts.
Example for GitHub: "Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account".
I was finally able to configure my two git accounts, they're now up and running.
I followed this tutorial I found and it worked like charm!
Configuring Multiple SSH Keys on Mack
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'm able to authenticate, generate, push etc just fine with my SSH keys and Moovweb credentials on my Mac and Linux machines.
However, on my Windows machine, using Git Bash, I get an SSH Permission denied (publickey) error. The error message is below:

Seems like a Windows-specific SSH error. Any workarounds?
So as mentioned in prior answers, the Permission denied error in Windows is because you are trying to use a key other than id_rsa.
Windows lacks the bells and whistles that Linux and Mac have to try out all your public keys when trying to connect to a server via SSH. If you're using the ssh command, you can tell it which key to use by passing the -i flag followed by the path to the key to use:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/moovweb_rsa moov#git.moovweb.com
The above command should work just fine if you've uploaded moovweb_rsa.pub to the console (either via the moov login command or the console UI). However, trying any git related commands should fail because Git doesn't give you the ability to chose which key to use when connecting to the git remote. Because of this, SSH is forced to use the default key, id_rsa, and if that key doesn't work (or doesn't exist), then the connection fails with a permission denied error.
One possible solution, as suggested in other answers, is to simply rename your key to id_rsa. For most people, this is a fine solution. However, if you already have an id_rsa key and you would prefer to use a different key with Moovweb, you can edit your ~/.ssh/config file by adding the following contents:
Host git.moovweb.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/moovweb_rsa
If you append the above lines to your ~/.ssh/config file (create it if it doesn't exist), you should be able to successfully get Git to communicate with the Moovweb remote git server. The config basically tells SSH that for the given host (git.moovweb.com), SSH should use the given key rather than the default.
It's worth nothing that this happens to all Git remotes; interactions with Github, Heroku, etc... also suffer through this problem in Windows. You could easily extend your ~/.ssh/config file to use separate SSH keys for each one of those services if you so desired:
Host git.moovweb.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/moovweb_rsa
Host github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa
Host heroku.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/heroku_rsa
Quick & dirty solution: use only the default id_rsa.pub key
Some notes:
make sure you enter the right passphrase to id_rsa.pub
do not use your other key, new_rsa.pub
It turns out that Windows Git Bash doesn't quite come with all the cool utilities Mac/Linux users are used to. Specifically, you don't have ssh-agent running to help handle multiple keys. Without ssh-agent, the git command only seems to use the default id_rsa.pub key.
You can verify this is an SSH/Windows issue following Github's awesome SSH troubleshooting guide. You'll get a Permission denied (publickey) no matter which SSH/Git server you try to connect to.
I'm not sure what's wrong with my heroku account, but I'm no longer able to clone my heroku project.
NOTE : Please do not close this question considering as duplicate question of this
as I have described below that I tried all solutions mentioned in the answers to that question
! Your key with fingerprint XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is not authorized to access genqr
Whenever I do
git clone git#heroku.com:genqr.git
I have done everything humanly possible.
1. I have deleted all my keys of heroku added a new key
using
heroku keys:remove
and
heroku keys:add /home/vire2egi/.ssh/setup.pub
Still, the same problem when cloning the project happens.
2. I also added heroku key to ssh-add
ssh-add /home/vire2egi/.ssh/setup
3. Also added key to keychain
eval `keychain --eval setup`
All the above commands result in success but still I can't clone the repo
4. I also did
heroku keys:remove
heroku auth:logout
heroku auth:login ## Authenticated myself and then added the key: still no success
Still no success
5. I also defined a config for heroku, something like
Host heroku.com
Hostname heroku.com
User viren2egi
IdentityFile /home/vire2egi/.ssh/setup
Still no success.
6. Out of fustration I created a brand new key.
ssh-keygen -t rsa
And repeated all the above set for that key too, but still I get the same problem.
I also cleaned my known_hosts everytime I ran anyone of the above commands just to make sure it does not pick from it.
Note :
Whenever I tried heroku:keys, it always presented me with the correct information of the key that I have added
Can anyone help me?
When you do a git operation it uses any ssh keys you have loaded locally in some order (I believe the order in which they were loaded). It may be that you have an old key still loaded and when you do a git operation it tries that key first and fails and does not go on to the next key if there's a failure.
So... try unloading all your ssh-keys with ssh-add -D, then loading the most recent key you created and added to heroku:
$ ssh-add -D
$ ssh-add /home/vire2egi/.ssh/setup
$ git clone git#heroku.com:genqr.git
???
I had the same problem. The steps described in http://rakshasingh.weebly.com/1/post/2013/04/accessing-multiple-heroku-accounts-from-one-machine.html helped me well. Last part about cloning from existing heroku app is important.
