After a long break of nearly 2 years, I tried to brush up my knowledge and wanted to started with Git. I created a bitbucket repo under my personal account, and setup the identities but no matter what, I was unable to clone the repo via ssh. I was getting the following error while trying to do it.
git clone -b master git@bitbucket.org:myusername/magento2.3.git
Cloning into ‘magento2.3’…
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
The error clearly stated it was a problem with my ssh key. I already checked and confirmed the following
- I have added the SSH public key to the repo’s Access keys option.
- I also tried to add it under Personal Settings -> Security -> SSH keys but both didn’t work
- I confirmed the details are correct in git config –list
[root@abc]# git config –list
push.default=matching
user.name=My Name
user.email=myemail@gmail.com
ssh.identity=/home/abc/.ssh/my_key.pem
- Git clone works with https, so there is not problem with the repo, but the problem is with the ssh key
- Next thing to try was to ssh to bitbucket in verbose mode to find the actual error
[root@abc]#ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/abc/.ssh/config
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to bitbucket.org [104.192.141.1] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/abc/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
From above, I understood it is trying to connect using the default id_rsa key and not the new ssh key “my_key” which I wanted to use. - Below are the steps needed to correct this problem.
[root@abc]# ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:q9/hCZVFR0gN+tV/iA0zDS4U9hth0PNRudIpd+72lnA abc@abc (RSA)Next add my new key to the ssh sgent
[root@abc]# ssh-add /home/abc/.ssh/my_key.pemConfirm the new key is added
[root@abc]# ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:ovtoXBGZVjxoS/v1wKA9K+reb7h0RkksTiHcnEsHgOE /home/abc/.ssh/my_key.pem (RSA)
2048 SHA256:q9/hCZVFR0gN+tV/iA0zDS4U9hth0PNRudIpd+72lnA abc@abc (RSA)
- Once that was done, everything worked perfectly!
[root@abc]# git clone -b master git@bitbucket.org:myusername/magento2.3.git
