Had a similar problem with the GitHub because I was using HTTPS protocol. To check what protocol you’re using just run git config -l and look at the line starting with remote.origin.url. To switch your protocol git config remote.origin.url git@github.com:your_username/your_project.git
Note that there are at least two bug reports for ssh-add -d/-D not removing keys: “Debian Bug report #472477: ssh-add -D does not remove SSH key from gnome-keyring-daemon memory” “Ubuntu: ssh-add -D deleting all identities does not work. Also, why are all identities auto-added?” The exact issue is: ssh-add -d/-D deletes only manually added keys … Read more
Run ssh-add on the client machine, that will add the SSH key to the agent. Confirm with ssh-add -l (again on the client) that it was indeed added.
Andy Lester’s response is accurate but I found an important extra step I needed to make to get this to work. In trying to get two profiles set up, one for personal and one for work, my ~/.ssh/config was roughly as follows: Host me.github.com HostName github.com PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile ~/.ssh/me_rsa Host work.github.com HostName github.com PreferredAuthentications … Read more
First confusion on my side was about where exactly to set SSH Keys in BitBucket. I am new to BitBucket and I was setting a Deployment Key which gives read-access only. So make sure you are setting your rsa pub key in your BitBucket Account Settings. Click your BitBucket avatar and select Bitbucket Settings(Manage account). … Read more
For Ubuntu instances: chmod 600 ec2-keypair.pem ssh -v -i ec2-keypair.pem ubuntu@ec2-174-129-185-190.compute-1.amazonaws.com For other instances, you might have to use ec2-user instead of ubuntu. Most EC2 Linux images I’ve used only have the root user created by default. See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBro0TEAd7g
If it is asking you for a username and password, your origin remote is pointing at the HTTPS URL rather than the SSH URL. Change it to ssh. For example, a GitHub project like Git will have an HTTPS URL: https://github.com/<Username>/<Project>.git And the SSH one: git@github.com:<Username>/<Project>.git You can do: git remote set-url origin git@github.com:<Username>/<Project>.git to … Read more
ssh-keygen -y ssh-keygen -y will prompt you for the passphrase (if there is one). If you input the correct passphrase, it will show you the associated public key. If you input the wrong passphrase, it will display load failed. If the key has no passphrase, it will not prompt … Read more
As I answered previously in Cloning git repo causes error – Host key verification failed. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly, add GitHub to the list of known hosts: ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
It’s a harder problem if you need to use SSH at build time. For example if you’re using git clone, or in my case pip and npm to download from a private repository. The solution I found is to add your keys using the –build-arg flag. Then you can use the new experimental –squash command … Read more
