I try to clone a private organization github repo onto a server instance, running debian. I try to avoid putting in my private SSH keys, because if they would get leaked, someone would have access to all of my repositories.
Hence I found the way of using deploy keys for private github repos. The way I imagine them to work is the following
create ssh keys on your server
add private key to github repo (under "deploy keys" area)
add config file in ~/.ssh folder on your server
you can git clone the github repository.
Unfortunately, with this setup I am receiving an error that I do not have the correct permissions set.
My config file:
Host github
Hostname github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/MY-REPONAME-gh
When trying to clone via SSH: git clone git#github.com:ORGNAME/MY-REPONAME.git
I receive this error:
Cloning into 'MY-REPONAME'...
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 configured the SSH based authentication as below
Created a public key on my UNIX server
Added the public key on my Bitbucket repository with reading and write privileges (also tried it at account level)
changed the URL from https to SSH at bitbucket and Unix server
verified the URL using and it is displaying SSH URL only
Then Tried to push, but I am getting the below error:
Permission denied (public key). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
I have read and write access to the repository
push command
git push -u origin master
Any idea?
You should try:
GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -Tv" git push
You will see what Git is using as an SSH key, and if there are any error messages.
If the error persists, it is possible there is something preventing SSH to operate properly (as in here, when not connected to a VPN)
Using HTTPS, of course, is a workaround:
git remote set-url origin https://git#bitbucket.XXX.com/XXX.com/XXX.git
After discussion, the missing step was to add the private key to the ssh-agent
ssh-add OEDQ_BIT added the private key

I have a personal GitHub account that I contribute to, and some other corporate accounts that I contribute to as well.
On my private account, I created a private repo, and what I would like to do, is check some source code, that I have on my local disk, into that repository.
From a Mac terminal, I made sure I was in the directory I wanted to check into the empty private repo, and then I did the following:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "checking existing files into my private repo"
I then went to my private repo, and copied the URL, let's say:
https://github.com/myaccount/myPrivateRepo
I then did the following:
git remote add origin https://github.com/myaccount/myPrivateRepo
and then did:
git remote -v
And got the following response:
origin https://github.com/myaccount/myPrivateRepo (fetch)
origin https://github.com/myaccount/myPrivateRepo (push)
Which I assumed means: everything checks out OK
Then I tried to push, using:
git push -u origin master
Which gave me the following error message:
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/myaccount/myPrivateRepo/' not found
Any ideas?
I trued changing the remote to:
git remote add origin git#github.com:myaccount/myPrivateRepo.git
and when I tried to push, I got the following error:
The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.255.113)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:nThbg6kXUpJWGl7E1IGOCspRxxxxxxxx.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.255.113' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
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.
The remote you add should be of this form:
git#github.com:myaccount/myPrivateRepo.git
Also set your git email address to match those of your github account:
git config user.email "you#example.com"
git config user.name "Full Name"
You can also edit these by editing the .git/config file.
Finally, make sure your SSH public key is correctly set up:
https://github.com/settings/keys
Your public key should be located in cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. You can print it with:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
If you don't have an SSH public key yet, then follow this guide:

I have a cloud9 repository on AWS and I would like to clone a github repository into it. I have followed the documentation instructions of copying the http link on github and running this command:
git clone git#github.com:[my repo]
I get this error message when running the command:
Cloning into 'pm-tool'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Does the user name on git have to match the user name on the AWS environment? Any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?
You shouldn’t upload your GitHub login to anywhere as a general rule.
You need to grab/create a key from AWS, then save in your GitHub repo as a deploy key.
Get your Cloud9 key.
Add it to GitHub here: https://github.com/[user/org]/[repo_name]/settings/keys.
See: https://community.c9.io/t/public-ssh-key-needed/1315/3
I already made a repository in github as wordpress-template.
I created a .git repository locally, added some files there, and committed it.
Then I created a remote as origin and give it the url of the github repository as:
git remote add origin git#github.com:squalporeover/wordpress-template.git
Now I want to push my master branch to that repository. I ran the following command:
git push origin master
But it shows:
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
It looks like you added the SSH version of the remote URL. In order to use this you need to set-up Github with SSH.
Otherwise use the HTTPS version of the clone URL which will ask for your username and password:
You need to use ssh-keygen to generate an ssh key pair.
See: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/
Duplicate found here: Git - Permission denied (publickey)
This worked for me:
Step 1- git remote rm origin
Step 2-select the http option in github
step 3- run the following command again
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourdirectory/link.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
I am connecting to github through my ftp server. I added the public key generated by my server then tried to connect and it is still giving me "permission denied", I attached a screenshot below.
You cannot just ssh into githubs servers in this way. Github's SSH server allows you to use git through their servers, not shell access. You get "permission denied" because you login with user github instead of git.
After adding your SSH public key to Github (which you've done correctly), just use git with the SSH remote.
If you have not a local repo yet, just use something like:
git clone git#github.com:Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee.git
Otherwise, add a new remote to your existing git repo:
git add origin git#github.com:Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee.git
After that, push your local repo with:
git push
