I have been trying to get gitHub and Egit to cooperate, with no success. I installed github's software bundle and made an SSH key that way, but Egit gives me no prompt for the passphrase, and it gives me this error:
Cannot get remote repository refs.
Reason: ssh://git#github.com:22: passphrase for C:\Documents and Settings\User\.ssh\id_rsa
I have these settings in the push menu:
URI: ssh://git#github.com/YoungMaker/<projectName>.git
host: github.com
Repository path: /YoungMaker/<projectName>.git
protocol: SSH
port <BLANK>
User: git
password <blank>
I also tried the GIT_SSH environment variable, and set it to C:\Documents and Settings\User.ssh, as well as plink.exe (I don't know what that is (clearly some .exe))
After trying to push from the gitHub GUI, I got this error. Its quite strange because I have the C:\Documents and Settings\User.ssh directory with a config file and an id_rsa key in it.
Pushing to git#github.com:YoungMaker/GitTester.git
error: cannot spawn C:\Documents and Settings\User\.ssh: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork
Old question, but for future reference:
Make sure you did setup a push remote. It worked for me when I got both the Cannot get remote repository refs-problems ("... Passphrase for..." and "Auth fail" in the "Push..." dialog).
Provided that you already:
Setup your SSH keys with Github (Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections > SSH2)
Setup your local repository (you can follow this guide for that)
Created a Github repository (same guide)
... here's how you do it:
Go to the Git Repositories view (Window > Show View > Other > Git Repositories)
Expand your Repository and right click Remotes --> "Create Remote"
"Remote Name": origin, "Configure push": checked --> click "OK"
Click the "Change..." button
Paste your git URI and select protocol ssh --> click "Finish"
Now, click "Save and Push" and NOW you should get a password prompt --> enter the public key passphrase here (provided that you DID (and you should) setup a passphrase to your public key) --> click "OK"
Now you should get a confirmation window saying "Pushed to YourRepository - origin" --> click "OK"
Push to upstream, but this time use "Configured remote repository" as your Destination Git repository
Go get yourself a well earned cup of coffee!
The passphrase is needed if you created a private key protected by one, as described in "GitHub: SSH key passphrase".
But that means you need an SSH agent to provide that passphrase for you.
If Egit doesn't prompt for one when pushing, that could mean:
your SSH key wasn't protected by a passphrase
your SSH key isn't somehow accessible (wrong path, or wrong protection on that path)

now I long to build a private git server myself by gitea and use SourceTree as a git GUI (on Windows)
Current situation & steps:
1.I've already set up a host with gitea, and create a repos here.
2.I used SourceTree (putty) to create a public SSH key and save the .ppk file.
3.Adding this SSH on gitea page (something might be wrong because there is a verification button)
4.Using Pageant.exe on client to add key
5.Using SourceTree and try to clone the new repos by SSH
6.However, SourceTree on Client can not recognize the url
note:
1.both two computers connect to Local Area Network
2.opening port:3000 on host is done, and using "telnet HOSTNAME 3000" on client is successful
3.error message when using git command is here
Is there any step I did wrong?
I have recently changed my GitHub username and when I try to push with Authentication > Use local SSH agent selected, GitKraken push fails with following error:
Push Failed
Configured SSH key is invalid.
Please confirm that it is properly associated with your git provider.
Unselecting the option reveals proper private/public key pair located at
~/.ssh/id_rsa
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
and allows the push to be done.
I can also push from inside Eclipse, and via command line without error. The URL of the repository point to my new username.
So far I have checked several things:
ssh -T github.com
gives permission denied
Fingerprint of id_rsa.pub matches to a key existing in Github account.
The following command suggests that ssh tool tries rsa private key, but is rejected:
$ ssh -vT github.com
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/<user>/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/<user>/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/<user>/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
Permission denied (publickey).
What is causing ssh -vT to fail in this case, and why doesn't it prevent git push/pull but fails when GitKraken tries pushing?
For me this was caused by an upgrade to OSX Sierra. I had to execute
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa
(you might have to replace that with the path of the key you are using). The command adds the ssh key to the git agent. For more information see the GitHub Help Page about adding SSH Keys.
You might have to add the command to some sort of setup file which is run at boot, because it seems like the ssh agent doesn't remember the key (at least for me).
For people who will come here in the future, my case was that pull/push working on vsc but gitkraken was giving me the message : no auth sock variable.
I went into file > preferences > SSH > unmarked use local SSH agent then it automatically found my id_rsa, ida_rsa.pub (you can browse and locate them manually if needed)
and now everything working fine.
OS: Arch,
gitkraken version: 7.7.2
What helped me resolve the issue was to go to GitKraken preferences and connect both Bitbucket and Github and authorize them.
After that tick the box in "general" that says use local ssh agent. (might be
If you have already set-up your local SSH agent, and your Git in terminal works, but Gitkraken does not, this might help:
First, start gitkraken from your terminal, instead of a desktop shortcut:
Open your favorite terminal
Run gitkraken
See if "Pull" works, or any other authenticated operation
It it works, you need to edit your Gitkraken desktop shortcut:
In my scenario, this is where my desktop shortcut is located, so: sudo vim /usr/share/applications/GitKraken.desktop
Change Exec=gitkraken %f to Exec=env SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/ssh-agent.socket" gitkraken %f
I looked several answers and forums for a solution but I could not find a single one that works.
I have this scenario:
Eclipse Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Two ssh keys on my ~/.ssh folder
Two bitbucket accounts (one for personal projects and one for enterprise)
A git repository only accessible with my primary key (~/.ssh/id_rsa)
A git repository only accessible with my secondary key (~/.ssh/other)
I created a ~/.ssh/config file with the contents:
Host bitbucket bitbucket.org
Hostname bitbucket.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/other
User git
And for the sake of sanity I added the second key using ssh-add as well. Running ssh-add -l lists both keys.
When using the command line, all git commands work like a charm, with both repositories. But when using Eclipse, I always get the Invalid remote: origin error when trying to clone or pull from the repository with the secondary key:
Caused by: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.NoRemoteRepositoryException: git#bitbucket.org:myuser/myrepository.git: conq: repository access denied.
I added the secondary key at Window > Preferences > Network Connections > SSH2 > Private keys, and set the GIT_SSH environment variable to point to my ssh executable:
$echo $GIT_SSH
/usr/bin/ssh
I've restarted Eclipse and even the OS several times, with no luck.
Since I can use git from the command line without problems, I tend to believe there's something wrong with Eclipse.
How to use multiple Git SSH keys on Eclipse? Or how to force Eclipse to use my secondary key on a single project?
Host bitbucket bitbucket.org? You don't declare multiple entry names on one Host section.
I would expect to see in a ssh config file declaring multiple keys:
Host bitbucketuserA
Hostname bitbucket.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
User git
Host bitbucketuserB
Hostname bitbucket.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/other
User git
And you would use ssh url like
bitbucketuserA:userA/myrepo1
bitbucketuserB:userB/myrepo2
(this is similar to what I suggested for "How to work on personal GitHub repo from office computer whose SSH key is already added to a work related GitHub account?")
Is it possible to use both the github and bitbucket repo in personal computer.
if not, Let me know any other possibilities.
Thanks in advance.
Complete Guide to Add SSH keys for both github and bitbucket in single PC
if you already have one ssh key then you must have 2 files public(id_rsa.pub) and Private key(id_rsa) in the .ssh folder You can Skip the Step 2
Step 1. Prepare your default identity it Required for Both Account Before Doing Step 2 and Step 3
Determine your Git clone URL.
$ git remote -v
origin git#bitbucket.org:teamsinspace/bitbucketspacestation.git (fetch)
origin git#bitbucket.org:teamsinspace/bitbucketspacestation.git (push)
Update the remote URL with your Bitbucket username by replacing git#bitbucket.org with <username>#bitbucket.org.
For this step and the ones that follow, enter your username in place of .
$ git remote set-url origin <username>#bitbucket.org:teamsinspace/bitbucketspacestation.git
Step 2 : create the 1st ssh key with default names (id_rsa)
$ssh-keygen
You will see the following text:
Generating public/private RSA key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa):
you can input the password to secure your file or you can press enter for all the steps and then it will create one ssh key.
By default, the system adds keys for all identities to the /Users/<username>/.ssh directory
You can check the already existing ssh key by following command
$ ls ~/.ssh
id_rsa id_rsa.pub
Two files should be there one with the name of the key(id_rsa) Private key second with the same (ir_rsa.pub) public key.
you can open make it visible by ctrl + h in Home Directory
then it will be shown
Second, Create your known hosts file if you not have already
To create your known hosts files-
touch known_hosts
STEP 3 : Sethup the Multiple account ssh
3.1 : Create 2nd Key With default name
You might be using one SSH key pair for working on your company's internal projects, now but you might be need a diffrent key for accessing a client's servers so you can create the key
By run the same command ssh-keygen again it will create the 2nd ssh key files with the name of [ id_rsa2 and id_rsa2.pub ]
3.2 : Create the 2nd Key with Custom Name
ssh-keygen -f NAME_OF_YOUR_KEY
$ ssh-keygen -f work_key it will create then 2 files
[ work_key, work_key.pub ]
if want to run the one key at a time then you can use this command before connecting to that repo for pull and push .
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/YOUR_KEY_FILE
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/work_key
Step 4 : Setup both two Accounts at the same time
You want to Setup both two Accounts at the same time then you will have to use the following command
Third Create your config file
To create your config file
touch config or open directly into any text editor,
Here is Example for One Github and one Bitbucket account
Host : name of your ssh setting you can give custom name
HostName : github domain or bitbucket domain
IdentityFile : path of your ssh file
#Work account
Host pers
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentitiesOnly yes
#Personal account
Host work
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_key
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentitiesOnly yes
Step 5 : Add your public keys to the Bitbucket or github account
For Bitbucket
For Github [Go to Setting of your Account -> SSH and GPG key]
Step 6 : Add your public permanently
ssh HOST(What we written in config file )
like
ssh work
if you got this error make sure you did Step 4 Correctly.
git#bitbucket.org: Permission denied (publickey).
or can be use this way as well
Now you can use
git clone `git#pers/project.git`
git clone `git#work/project.git`
Step 7 : auotmaticly pick by domain name we are requiesting to
Managing SSH keys can become cumbersome as soon as you need to use a second key. Traditionally, you would use ssh-add to store your keys to ssh-agent, typing in the password for each key. The problem is that you would need to do this every time you restart your computer, which can quickly become tedious.
if you have only two account and one in the github and one in the bitbucket you can use the following approch to auotmaticly pick by domain name we are requiesting to
#Work account
Host github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentitiesOnly yes
#Personal account
Host bitbucket.org
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_key
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentitiesOnly yes
Here is a link to further guidance on it
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-ultimate-guide-to-ssh-setting-up-ssh-keys/
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/set-up-additional-ssh-keys/
Yes it is. You tell git where the remote code lives from a per-repository configuration file. You can even push to GitHub and Bitbucket from the same repository if you want to.
See here for more details:
http://blog.lckymn.com/2013/03/11/git-push-to-pull-from-both-github-and-bitbucket/
One important piece will be connecting to each separately with SSH.
Your SSH keys should live in $HOME/.ssh and can contain any number of keys. The default name for an SSH key is id_rsa (or similar, depending on the protocol used to create it).
Try doing:
ls $HOME/.ssh
... to see what's in there.
I do what you are asking about myself and for me that brings up something like:
github-personal
github-personal.pub
bitbucket-work
bitbucket-work.pub
known_hosts
Where known_hosts is a file that contains a list of the servers I connect to and the public keys associated with them. The other files that end in .pub are my own public keys and the rest are my private keys.
You get your GitHub and Bitbucket keys into there by following their appropriate tutorials:
GitHub: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/
Bitbucket: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Set+up+SSH+for+Git
Yes, it is possible to use both the github and bitbucket repo in personal computer.
You can setup multiple SSH profiles.
First Generate your SSH keys To generate the first key-from your root folder
$ cd ~/.ssh
$ ssh-keygen -f work_key,
then enter a passphrase of your choice.
To generate the second key
$ ssh-keygen -f personal_key, then enter a passphrase of your choice.
Second, Create your known hosts file
To create your known hosts files-
touch known_hosts
Third Create your config file
To create your config file
touch config, then it would look something like this
#Work account
Host bitbucket.org
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentitiesOnly yes
#Personal account
Host bitbucket.org
HostName bitbucket.org
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa2
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentitiesOnly yes
Then add your SSH key to bitbucket. Go to bitbucket, settings, then SSH keys
pbcopy < id_rsa.pub (to copy the key) and paste it in bitbucket
Definitely YES. You can generate ssh key pair first, see How to generate, then go to .ssh directory, copy the content of id_rsa.pub, and paste into your github or bitbucket ssh setting area.
I make use of Sourcefree Desktop Application and My Gitbash prompt
to push my project to Bitbucket and Github repository simultaneously
below is what i did
right click to open bash shell of the folder you want to push
First you need to create key, i will advice make use of the same ssh key
create key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email#example.com"
go to the folder directory
right click and click on git bash
then run the below command one after the other
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first"
open your sourcefree desktop app
click on + to open your local
repo file
create repo on bitbucket
then click repo icon
then click on repo icon to add
name: originbit
url: "repo link you created"
For your bitbucket you have to make use of both
public ssh key and private ssh key if you want to make use of
both public and private repository
To make use of ssh key earlier created
go to TOOLS icon of sourcefree App
Click on load tab
then resave it with .ppk extension
save the same key as private key and public key
in the same directory
dont input passhrase yet to avoid difficulties
just save it.
so that it can be loaded to pageant icon
to create new key
go to TOOLS icon of sourcefree
then click on create ssh key
change the bottom number to 2048
but if you are unable to change it
first create a new key then drag your mouse around the colum provided
in a zigzag way or any form once created.
change the 1048 to 2048 so that it can be accepted at bitbucket ssh
then recreate a new key
then save it as public key and private key
add key to the Pageant (check your desktop notification for this Pageant key icon)
add both private ssh key and ssh public key
Goto your bitbucket account seetings
and add the content of the two ssh keys
name them differently
go back to the bash shell
git status
git add -A
git pull originbit master
git commit -m "modified code"
git push originbit master
create repo on github
Open Sourcefree desktop app
copy the repo url
then click repo icon
then click on repo icon to add
then push on Sourcefree
This week I set up an new GitLab server. It is running.
Yesterday I forced him to be reachable via HTTPS for secure communication.
In Eclipse I generated an RSA-Key via the preferences.
But if I try to import an Git-Project (git#DOMAIN:GROUP/PROJECT.git) then:
without password filled in, I got the response: Auth fail: Invalid password or missing SSH key.
with my password filled in (but git username), I got the response:
Auth fail: Invalid password or missing SSH key.
with my user & password, I got the response:
Auth fail: Invalid password or missing SSH key.
Via HTTPS I get the response:
cannot open git-upload-pack
Please, what do I don't see?
From my answer from here:
I faced the same issue while migrating my project from github to bitbucket and this is how I resolved it:
Introduction: I will describe the ssh key usage here. A user generates a unique key to connect to remote machines using ssh. So you can create it locally. After, user uploads the keys to the remote machines where want to connect without password and more securely. On Git, the same thing happens, user creates a ssh key and uploads the generated key value to the git system providers like Github or Birbucket. After uploading your unique key, you must configure your development environment to let your git system provider communicate providing security over ssh key.
1) I was using ssh key to push my commits to remote with github in eclipse, the ssh key is set at window -> preferences -> General -> Network Connections -> SSH2 for eclipse (on git pushes, this ssh key is used if set). If you do not have any ssh keys on your machine then follow this article to generate one for you and set it into eclipse at the path above.
2) In your github or bitbucke account, find the screen where you can save your ssh key. For bitbucket, it is at https://bitbucket.org/account/user/[user-name]/ssh-keys/. '[user-name]' here is your user name at bitbucket. Open your 'id_dsa.pub' file (where you generated your ssh key) with a text editor, select all, copy and paste into your github/bitbucket accounts' ssh key addition section and then click add.
3) At eclipse, be sure to use the 'ssh' GIT URI for your project. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git -> Configuration, click 'Repository Settings' tab and paste your GIT ssh URI to remote.origin.url.
4) Finally try to push your commits to remote. You mustn't face any errors, if you have please comment under my answer.

Recently, I did have similar issues with GitLab but fixed it with:
First, I generated the ssh-rsa by using the MAC-OSX CLI and exported to GitLab. Git CLIs were working but no luck from Eclipse.
Then, I went to Eclipse > Preferences... > General > Network Connections > SSH2, Key Management tab, I regenerated the key from Eclipse but using the "Generate RSA key..." button. It had "RSA-1024" at the end, and exported to GitLab.
https and ssh are two different communication protocols.
If you want to access your GitLab repos with https url, you should use https url:
https://yourLogin#DOMAIN/group/project.git
If you are using git#DOMAIN:GROUP/PROJECT.git, it is an ssh url.
Now: ssh cloning should work provided you have correctly setup your SSH id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in your Eclipse: see EGit SSH configuration.
Make sure:
your private key isn't password protected at first.
your public key (id_rsa.pub) is published on your GitLab profile
