I'm using terminal, I want to delete ssh keys from and old user (old_username) and set a new one (new_username). I have done as is in this tutorial.
When I run: ssh -T git#github.com I get the correct message:
`Hi new_username! You've successfully authenticated'.
But when I try to push a repository I get denied:
remote: Permission to new_username/test2.git denied to old_username.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/new_username/test2/': The requested URL returned error: 403
I've tried deleting .ssh folder and setting again ssh, but the problem persists.
Using an https url means your ssh connection is not used. At all.
Try switching to ssh:
git clone git#github.com:new_username/test2
That will actually use your ssh credentials, meaning your public and private keys stored in ~/.shh/id_rsa(.pub).
If on Linux or OSX, check a file called ~/.netrc, which contains username/password information that most apps will use when connecting to remote servers. Yes, it even affects git via the https protocol. If you're using a frontend to connect to github, you probably need to clear its preferences so it stops trying to use the old username.

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 am stuck on this annoying (and common) issue running Manjaro (latest). SSH works just fine for me on my local network. I can connect to my file server and pi-hole just fine.
GitHub however is proving more difficult.
gh repo clone User/Reponame gives the following:
WARNING: cgroup v2 is not fully supported yet, proceeding with partial confinement
Cloning into 'Reponame'...
warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates
The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.121.3)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:SomeLongNumberBlahBlah.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/USER/.ssh/known_hosts).
Load key "/home/USER/.ssh/id_rsa": Permission denied
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.
exit status 128
Now I tried deleting my known_hosts, checking the file permission, creating new keys for my server/pi-hole and all works fine. I don't see why GH is struggling with permission. I've tried a few solutions but nothing seems to work for me. I've set my global user and email for github, I just can't get passed this step.
ssh -T git#github.com Asked for a passphrase and accepted it when I entered. Yay! I have both keys set and added to github.com via my browser etc. I must be missing something.
Still no change in the clone command. I am honestly stuck having read multiple threads on the subject. SSH always gets me :(
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'd like to install the c++ sdk on my ec2 instance. The bash command to do this is given on this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/setup.html
"To build the SDK from source"
...
"Clone with Git: git clone git#github.com:aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git"
I downloaded git on my instance and tried this command and get these errors:
"The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.253.112)' can't be established.

If I can't resolve this, then I need to do a direct download. Can I do a Direct download via curl? I'd like to be able to get a fresh download every time I launch a new instance so that I pick up all the new code updates.
The given download(checkout)instruction is based on the assumption that you are using ssh to access Github. You should set up ssh key on Github to make that work.
Otherwise, you can use Https to check it out: git clone https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.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
