I'm setting up a laravel website with a Digital Ocean droplet.
This process is so difficult and frustrating, I'm losing logic sense...
I'm connected with an ssh key that is connected with github, because I tried this code to test my connection:
ssh -T git#github.com
with this as response:
> Hi (My name)! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
> provide shell access.
So it is connected.
However, when I want to clone my repository into my online droplet. I get the 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.
So I have no idea how to fix this..
My ssh key inside my digital ocean settings is the same as in my github ssh settings.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I've found the solution myself!
So what was the problem?
I was using the ssh key from my localhost as an access key for cloning private github repositories. That is why I couldn't clone into an online service because that online service has it's own specific ssh key. So inside my server, I generated an ssh-key and registered that one on github. When I tried cloning me repo inside my droplet
everything worked as it should do.

I've been working on this for a few hours now and I've read everywhere but am officially stumped.
I'm trying to set up ssh keys for a dev-environment to interact with github. I've followed the guide on github and have made the keys and when I test them using the git#github.com it works but when I use git clone git#github.com:username/repo I get
Cloning into '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've tried adding it to ssh-add and that works, ssh-agent is running and has access. I've looked at the environment variable and set it to ssh among a few other things. I don't know what else to try. Let me know what logs I can post to help.
My thoughts are maybe the git command isn't using the identities or the right ssh client but other than the environment variables I'm not sure what else to change.
Thanks for the help in advance.
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 shared host and they don't give me ssh or terminal for it.
I've tried to clone my private repos from git by Git™ Version Control so I am using ssh link because they need permission. I don't know how to make ssh key on cpanel so I can make it from my mac and upload to cpanel and also add to Github.
But when running, they give me error: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists..
I'm a beginner for using Git & StackOverflow, so please let me know if there's anything wrong with the question I've asked. Thanks!
Tried Url with password
Cloning a private Github repo and
having a response "The clone URL cannot include a password."
This is different than what worked for the OP (hopefully they put their solution in an answer here).
I was able to solve this problem by installing an external SSH client (like PuTTY for Windows) and then SSH into my website using its IP address. Then I followed these steps from cPanel to connect the private repository.
I'm using openconnect in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to ssh into a remote machine over a vpn. I'm trying to push and pull to/from Github with ssh authentication, but it's not working. When I try to pull or push, it gives the error:
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
When I connect with nomachine, I'm able to push/pull with Github no problem.
I've tried googling many different things, and haven't noticed anything yet in the options for openconnect or ssh that would help.
Any ideas?
The answer was simple: just set the git url to use the https version instead of ssh. You can also then cache the username/pass for https for a while: https://help.github.com/articles/caching-your-github-password-in-git/
Setting up GitHub, and Im using SSH to connect. Following along hereto get all SSH set up. All is working well until i try to push an existing repository from the command line.
No problems with the following
git remote add origin git#github.com:<username>/first_app.git
But when I execut the following
git push -u origin master
things stop working.
My Keychain access dialog window pops up and wants the id_rsa password. Isn't this the passphrase I made up when i was following the steps on GitHub's how-to setup SSH? I think it is, but Keychain won't take the passphrase (I'm using this interchangeably with the word password).
I get: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Can someone please help me connect the last piece of this puzzle so I can connect to GitHub via SSH? Thanks
