I am having create difficulty finding reliable information on creating SSH keys in order to remove the need for username and password when doing git push and pull for a main repo and separate nested repos.
To make sure I have no existing errors deleted them from
https://github.com/settings/keys
And then followed this guide which in a nutshell advises:
Check for existing, I deleted all from here as well
ls -al ~/.ssh
then (accepting defaults with no passkey)
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email#example.com"
eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
and pasting key at https://github.com/settings/keys
The guide seems to end here, however attempt to push the repo gives:
fatal: HttpRequestException encountered.
An error occurred while sending the request.
Username for 'https://github.com':
What steps have been missed here please.
Attempting to push via git bash
I want to deploy ma test app from local repo to gitlab repo and with gitlab ci push it to my remote server. SSH connection is working, gitlab CI shows that job is passed, but code on remote server is not updated.
I made bare repo in: /home/repos/testDeploy.git
And folder for files is in: /home/example.com/web/testDeploy
I added
My .gitlab-ci.yml file
stages:
- deploy
deployment:
stage: deploy
environment:
name: production
url: http://www.example.com/testDeploy
only:
- master
before_script:
- 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'
- eval $(ssh-agent -s)
- chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa_gitlab && chmod 700 ~/.ssh
- '[[ -f /.dockerenv ]] && echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config'
script:
- git remote add production ssh://user#server:port/home/repos/testDeploy.git
- git push -f production master
- echo "Deployed to production!"
Also, i have post-receive hook:
#!/bin/sh
git --git-dir=/home/repos/testDeploy.git --work-tree=/home/example.com/web/testDeploy checkout -f
I make changes in my local repo, commit and push to origin master to gitlab. Job is passed, but as I mention above, file on remote server is not update.
Output from gitlab job is:
Fetching changes...
HEAD is now at 595db67 as

Skipping Git submodules setup
$ which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh- client -y )

$ eval $(ssh-agent -s)

$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa_gitlab && chmod 700 ~/.ssh

$ git push -f production master
Everything up-to-date
$ echo "Deployed to production!"
Deployed to production!
Job succeeded
What I am doing wrong? Can you someone help me please to figure it out? Thank you for all your answers.
In the build of my first public repository https://github.com/yafred/test-push/ I try to modify my second repository https://github.com/yafred/test
1/ I am using the same personal access token with scope repo (GH_TOKEN) that I'm using to deploy releases.
2/ The commands I am executing from the .travis.yml are
language: generic
script:
- git clone https://github.com/yafred/test.git
- cd test
- echo "hello" > test.txt
- git add .
- git -c user.name='travis' -c user.email='travis' commit -m refresh
- git push -f -q https://{$GH_TOKEN}#github.com/yafred/test master
I have tried a few variations in the commands based on my searches but I keep getting an authentication error
0K$ git push -f -q https://{$GH_TOKEN}#github.com/yafred/test master
remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://{[secure]}#github.com/yafred/test/'
Is it at all possible ?
What am I doing wrong ?

I am trying to deploy my application using Capistrano to an Amazon EC2 instance for which I the .pem file is already added to my local machine using ssh-add and it can be seen enlisted in output for ssh-add -l.However I am facing following error while deploying:

Following is the full output of my cap deploy command:

So I guess this error is caused due to conflicts arising between multiple SSH keys getting detected i.e. on local machine User_B(who is a member of the repository) is used as default however on remote machine User_A(who is not having access to the repository) is used.
If my assumption is correct can anybody please help me in getting this problem solved? Is there any way in which a specific user config can be used while agent forwarding? If not then what could be the solution to this?
Thanks.
Ok it seems like the sequence in which keys are listed in ~/.ssh/config matters.
Initially it was
# User_A
Host github.com-User_A
HostName github.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
# User_B
Host github.com-User_B
HostName github.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user_b
IdentitiesOnly yes
# http://serverfault.com/questions/400633/capistrano-deploying-to-different-servers-with-different-authentication-methods
Host example.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh_keys/example_env.pem
ForwardAgent yes
Afterwards I did this:
# User_B
Host github.com-User_B
HostName github.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user_b
IdentitiesOnly yes
# User_A
Host github.com-User_A
HostName github.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
# http://serverfault.com/questions/400633/capistrano-deploying-to-different-servers-with-different-authentication-methods
Host example.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh_keys/example_env.pem
ForwardAgent yes
But after doing that I didn't restarted the machine, thus the changes were not in effect.
This morning after I started my machine after posting above problem I found that it is working:
On local machine:
$ ssh -T git#github.com
Hi User_B! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
On remote machine
$ ssh -T git#github.com
Hi User_B! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Hope this helps somebody else in case he faces a similar problem.
Thanks.
How can I create a new repository from my machine using git bash?
I followed the below steps:
mkdir ~/Hello-World
cd ~/Hello-World
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git
git push origin master
But I'm getting "Fatal error: did you run update-server-info on the server? "
You cannot create a repo on github using git bash. Git and github are different things. Github is a platform that let's you host and collaborate on code while git is the version control tool used. You can read more about them on wikipedia articles: github and git.
However if your intention is to create a github repo using terminal, you can do it using the github api and curl.
Probably the easiest way to create a repo on github is somewhere before this line:
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git
go to https://github.com/new and create a repository on github, then run your last two lines and everything should work.
I have created this bash file to do it all automatically.
#!/bin/sh
reponame="$1"
if [ "$reponame" = "" ]; then
read -p "Enter Github Repository Name: " reponame
fi
mkdir ./$reponame
cd $reponame
curl -u USERNAME https://api.github.com/user/repos -d "{\"name\":\"$reponame\"}"
git init
echo "ADD README CONTENT" > README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Starting Out"
git remote add origin git#github.com:USERNAME/$reponame.git
git push -u origin master
So how:
copy the code above. save it as NAME.sh, add it to your PATH. restart terminal or open a new one.
$ NAME newreponame
$ NAME
$ Enter Github Repository Name:
Thanks.
First, try to do this right before the git push:
git pull repo branch
Then try to do the following:
$ git init --bare yourreponame.git
Then do what you were doing before:
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git
git push origin master
I think it is doable.
You can do it using curl (if you are on Windows, you'll have to install it)
curl -u USER https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{ "name": "REPO" }'
Make sure to replace USER and REPO with your github username and the name of the repository you want to create respectively
It asks for password, input your github admin password and you are good to go.
Actually answered by James Barnett here https://teamtreehouse.com/community/how-does-one-add-a-repository-to-github-using-git-commandline-calls-only
Overview
Command 'git' do not allow you to create repo but it's possible to create new repo at github from BASH script. All solutions use user/password authentication which is deplicated but stil in use. Authentication must be done using personal access token.
Below there are solutions:
3rd party application
https://github.com/github/hub
sudo apt install hub;
cd <folder with code>;
hub init;
hub create -p -d "<repo description>" -h "<project site>" \
"user_name>/<repo_name>";
More options: https://hub.github.com/hub-create.1.html
Pure BASH
REPONAME="TEST";
DOMAIN="www.example.com";
DESCRIPTION="Repo Description";
GITHUB_USER="github_user";
FOLDER="$HOME/temp/$REPONAME";
mkdir -p "$FOLDER"; cd "$FOLDER";
read -r -d '' JSON_TEMPLATE << EOF
{
"name" : "%s",
"description" : "%s",
"homepage" : "%s",
"visibility" : "private",
"private" : true,
"has_issues" : false,
"has_downloads" : false,
"has_wiki" : false,
"has_projects" : false
}
EOF
JSON_OUTPUT=$(printf "$JSON_TEMPLATE" "$REPO_NAME" \
"$DESCRIPTION" "http://$DOMAIN");
# https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#create-an-organization-repository
curl -u ${GITHUB_USER} https://api.github.com/user/repos \
-d "$JSON_OUTPUT"
just try to add -u in your last line:
git push -u origin master
Maybe you are getting this error because you didn't set your identity:
$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe#example.com
