I had trouble (even called support) and they could not answer correctly as to how to push code from CodeSandBox (iOS version) to a GitHub Remote Repo. I keep getting failed to connect (even using SSH and/either regular authentication). (They did lead me down part of the path)
The way that I finally got it to work:
Essentially you have to use SSH (not HTTPS - this will not work!!!! on iOS)
On GitHub
First create your repo on Github (private or public), I selected to create a private one
copy the SSH name address
git#github.com:yourusername/yourprojectname.git
In CodeSandbox,
Add your repo name in the git settings from above
In the SSH Settings, hit the magic wand at the top and let it generate the public and private for you (this was the key....), do not generate a key on your own at your command line (IT WILL NOT WORK)
In the private key passphrase (leave this blank)
Change your branch in the settings to "main" as you GitHub Repo points to
Back in GitHub
Go to your Repo, go to the settings for your repo (not on your account)
Go to Deploy Keys
Add a Deploy Key, paste in the public ssh-rsa key from your code sandbox (that you let it generate), Make sure you check the box "Allow Write Access)
Then you can now commit and push to your remote repository (Took me three days of troubleshooting to figure this out) -:)

I recently did a push to my GitHub repository for a few weeks ago. I got a main from GitHub that GitHub is soon quitting regular authorization and going to replace it with another authorization method.
So today I push a new update to my GitHub repository and got the message:
git-receive-pack not permitted
That's leads to two questions:
Has EGit stopped working now?
I have Eclipse 2021-03, how can I fix this issue so I can do a push?
Since August 13, 2021, GitHub does not support authentication via HTTPS with your GitHub account password for security reasons anymore. Instead, in Eclipse, when pushing to a GitHub repository or when fetching from a private repository, you will get a git-upload-pack not permitted on 'https://github.com...' error.
As solution, use either
a GitHub specific Personal access tokens as password instead of your previously used GitHub account password or
SSH with an SSH key of which the private and public key is on your local machine and configured in Eclipse and the public key is uploaded to your GitHub account instead.
Personal access token (GitHub specific)
Go to your GitHub account to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens website:
Click the Generate new token button in the upper right
Enter a Note, e.g. GitHub repo token
Choose Expiration, e.g. No expiration
Tick the checkbox repo
Click the Generate token button at the bottom
Copy the generated token to the clipboard
In Eclipse, in the Git Repositories view:
Right-click the Remotes sub-node for GitHub (origin or the name you have chosen when you have cloned the repository) and choose Configure Push...
Click the Change... button to change the URI in the upper right
Replace the password with with the copied generated GitHub token
Click Finish and Save to apply the changes
SSH
Create an SSH key (skip this step when you already have one):
In Eclipse, in the preferences General > Network Connections > SSH2 tab Key Management hit the Generate RSA Key... button
Hit Save Private Key... and choose a location, preferably the subfolder .ssh of your user home directory
Upload public key to your GitHub account:
For a new created key, copy the string shown in the Key Management tab to the clipboard; for an existing key add it in the preferences General > Network Connections > SSH2 tab General and copy the content of the public key file <name>.pub
Go to your GitHub account settings to the SSH and GPG keys section and hit the New SSH key button
Paste the copied public key into the Key field
Change HTTPS to SSH URLs of already cloned repositories:
In Eclipse, in the Git Repositories view right-click the repository and choose Properties and click the Open button
In the text editor of the config file change the remote URL as follows:HTTPS (old; does not work for push anymore):url = https://github.com/<username>/<repo>.gitSSH (new):url = git#github.com:<username>/<repo>.git

GitHub has disabled the HTTPS protocol
Most certainly not.
I push using HTTPS to GitHub without any issue, but I now have to use, as password, a PAT (Personal Access Token) instead of the GitHub user account password.
Make sure to create a new token, which will follow the new token format (March 2021)
ghp_ for Personal Access Tokens
I was using eclipse and git with ssh and had an issue with it using the wrong key.
When searching for the error: "Cannot log in at github.com:22"
It sent me to this answer: Cannot log in GitHub into Eclipse which ended up leading me to this one.
For anyone else that stumbles across this you need to navigate to
Window -> Preferences
Then from there expand
General -> Network Connections -> SSH2
Then in the right pane select the "General" tab and click the Add Private Key.. button and select the private key used for git. If you used a password for your key (which you should) then you should be prompted to enter it.
After this I could push and pull again no issues.
You need to create an app password or token to import the project from git/bitbucket. This token you need to use as a password.
Here create a token by giving the necessary permissions according to your requirements and create it.

A novice here, please type a small instruction describes how to use a private GitHub repo in VSCode
To configure a private repo, you first need to generate a public/private RSA key pair on your dev machine to be able to establish an ssh connection to your repo instead of an HTTP connection.
Just install Git for Windows in your development environment. During installation, please make sure that you have checked the option to include git bash, as you'll need it to create this key. Once installed, right click on your Windows user folder, select on Open git bash and then just run ssh-keygen (or if you are using Linux, you can just ssh-keygen) and go through the wizard.
This step will create a hidden .ssh folder that contains your public/private RSA key pair. Navigate to that folder.
The goal here with these keys is to configure your public key on GitHub. Open your id_rsa.pub file with notepad and copy its entire content. Then go to GitHub and under your user Settings > SSH keys just add a key and paste your entire public key plus an arbitrary name.
Now restart VS Code and press CTRL+ ' (Backtick) to open PowerShell and then run:
In case you haven't cloned your repo:
git clone git#github.com:{UserName}/{RepoName}.git
To Upload changes to your repo:
git add .
git commit -m "{Name for this commit}"
git push {Repo Origin name (default = Origin)} {Branch Name (Default = Master)}
Note. {} are for reference, do not include them in your commands.
VS Code has built-in support for Source Control, so if it is configured, VS Code will automatically detect changes and get them ready to commit with just a commit message and click. Also, there's a really good VS Core extension called GitLens. This can help you to 1-click push
That should do it. 😃
As of now (july 2019, not sure when this got added exactly) you can do this from within VSCode, just hit F1 in windows or ctrl+⇧+P (or ⌘+⇧+P on mac) to access the command palette of VSCode, then type or select Git: Clone and finally enter the URL of your repository, so something like https://github.com/MY_USERNAME/MY_PROJECT.git, finally choose the folder you want to use for your cloned repository (open the main folder that contains all your projects, no need to manually create a sub folder for the project itself, git will do this for you using the projects name)
To find your exact repository URL, open the projects github page and click on the green button on the top right that says "Clone or download", if you wonder if you should use HTTPS or SSH check out the github documentation
I had trouble with cloning a private repository from Github with VSCode. In my case the problem was that I followed Github docs instructions to generate SSH keys with Ed25519 algorithm and using these keys (id_ed25519.pub) with VScode and Github did not work for me.
I generated new keys with the RSA algorithm:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email#example.com"
and after adding id_rsa.pub to my Github account settings VSCode started working with private repositories.
If Git is already installed
Copy the URL of your private repository
Go to the version control in VS Code
Click on clone repository (authentication required if not done already) and
Paste the copied URL in the edit text box as shown in the documentation.
i have same problem- but solution was simple:
Mistake was: in windows when you create a keys name should be "id_rsa" (windows cmd suggest rename yor keys).
if your key name is different simple rename private and public keys to "id_rsa" and "id_rsa.pub"
Then add keys via: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa (edit path if files in different).
Then add id_rsa.pub key to github profile settings(copy paste of content).
Now you can work with private repositories.
#Daniel summed it up but quick read for anyone who's having issues with generating ssh/adding it to github.
As #Kennet stated use ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email#example.com" hit enter through, it will default to C:Users most likely.
Copy the ida_rsa.pub generated in github go to Setting -> Deploy keys (documentation I saw was outdated) and paste it in and name it ida_rsa.pub.
Note: Make sure to select "Allow write access" otherwise your pushes will be denied
If you want multiple ssh keys, this document explains how
I've been trying to start a project using EGit with Bitbucket but I can't push the project to the repository in the server.
These are the steps I've followed (I'll try to be very specific so other people can use it as a tutorial mode; even though it's not working for me it might work for others):
1) I installed Git on Ubuntu 12.10 using this tutorial
2) Followed this tutorial for GitHub.
Start a new C++ project in Eclipse
Under Window > Preferences > General > Network Connection > SSH2 > Key Management tab, I generated a new RSA key and added it to the list of deployment keys of my repository on Bitbucket.
Right click on the eclipse project: Team > Share project ; Team > Add to index ; Team > Commit
Window > Show View > Other > Git > Git Repositories
Right click on Remotes > Create Remote > Checked "Configure push" and typed my project's name
Add Push URL: ssh://git#bitbucket.org/myuser/myrepository.git, Protocol: ssh; port: blank; user: git; password: blank
Advanced button under Ref mappings and selected the "master" version. If this step works, it means that the RSA key is configured in Bitbucket and EGit properly. Otherwise it will show a connection error.
Everything is done. However, when I press "Push" I get the following error:
ssh://git#bitbucket.org/myuser/myrepository.git: push not permitted
I've tried every configuration possible: switched to a new work space, updated Eclipse, created new repositories, re-installed Git... Any ideas?
Alright, I've finally found a way to work with it.
It's just changing the authentication mode. If the HTTPS link is used, instead of using the SSH link, everything works perfectly. It seems that SSH works just in a read-only mode.
Of course the authentication method is different: you have to type the password and the SSH keys stored in Bitbucket are no longer necessary.
For those who are having problems with EGit, I recommend following eugener's way to automatically configure EGit. Then you just have to select HTTPS as authentication mode to push the stored commits.
There is much simpler way of configuring remote Git repos in Eclipse:
Create an empty repo on BitBicket
Copy repo's URL
Clone repo to your machine using "Git Repositories" view.
Share your project into newly cloned repo.
Since a repo was cloned - remote settings were configured automatically. This means you will be able to push immediately
It might be a user name misconfiguration in .gitconfig.
Probably related, I fixed "auth fail" problems by following the instructions on:
http://wangpidong.blogspot.com.es/2012/05/how-to-use-bitbucket-with-egit-in.html
Got it from:
Configuring egit with BitBucket
In this specific case I agree with resolution from Olivier J.'s comment under original question.
But I have had similar problem and it was caused by something else. I resolved it and here is what happened:
I have been using some private repository at Bitbucket (A) with some user account and some public key (X) to access it. I have had key X loaded in my pageant Putty key chain.
Then I created a new public repository (B), also at Bitbucket with a different user account and another public key (Y). I added this key to pageant too.
When I tried to access repository B apparently public key X and not Y was used, because ..for SSH client both connections are the same - same user (git) at the same host (bitbucket.org)! And key X was used first because ..it was loaded earier? Or maybe because its name was alphabetically first? I am not sure but the result was that...
Read-only access for B using X was granted because the repository was public and any valid Bitbucket user key was enough to gain this kind of access!
..but writing (pushing) required key Y, which was not used by SSH.
So the general tip is: to resolve strange read-only git via SSH access errors check carefully which private key is actually used by SSH.
I resolved this problem by loading only one key - X or Y - in pageant at a time but I would love to do it a smarter way - please let me know in comments if you know how!
Using Bitbucket I do it this way:
create a repository in bitbucket
clone the empty repository using the https url
connect the project in eclipse to the repository using the Team -> Share option and select the location where you cloned the repo
index (stage) your project files
commit and push
I have a public GitHub account for the last year or so. Yesterday I installed SmartGit on my Windows 7 PC. SmartGit works fine locally but I'd like to push to a remote repo on GitHub.
When I look at SmartGit -> Preferences -> Authentication I have selected to use SmartGit as SSH Client. The 'Known Credentials' area is empty.
Under Hosting Providers I have added my github account [username+password] and Clicking on 'Login at GitHub...' it opens the browser and I am logged in successfully.
I would have assumed there would be something populating the Known Credentials area? I tried in vain in see if I had some key-pair stored somewhere that SmartGit could use. Eventually I downloaded PuttyGen and created a pair of keys. I gave them silly names to begin with but after some reading renamed them to *id_rsa* and "id_rsa.pub" and dropped them into my c:\users\MYNAME.ssh directory.
Still no sign of any credentials in SmartGit.
When I run the 'Remote -> Manage Remotes -> Add I enter the git name (based on the link I get from the github repo. I get the "Provide Credentials for authenticating to the SSH Server 'github.com' as user 'git'. The dialog box has pre-populated the Private Key File with the id_rsa I dropped into the .ss directory.
I even went onto github and added this key to the list of SSH keys. Still no joy.
Anyone any suggestions ?
Assuming it works similar on github and bitbucket.
Today I got Smartgit 3.0.10 running with bitbucket by the following steps:
To upload local code
1) Created the repository in bitbucket manually through the website
2) Add your ssh key to the website ( PuttyGen > Conversions > Export OpenSSH )
3) In your local repos check the contents of reposDir.hg\hgrc , should look like
[paths]
default = ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/user123/reposXYZ
if not change it manually. You can also clone your empty repos and the check in the
local copy for this line.
Restart SmartGit and you should be able to push and pull.
If you use the "HTTPS clone URL" on github, it makes a link that requires no SSH keys.
