(See gitolite, gitlab or github for example.) First start by setting up your own public/private key pair set. This can use either DSA or RSA, so basically any key you setup will work. On most systems you can use ssh-keygen. First you'll want to cd into your .ssh directory. Open up the terminal and run: cd ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen Next you need to copy this to your clipboard. On OS X run: cat id_rsa.pub | pbcopy On Linux run: cat id_rsa.pub | xclip On Windows (via Cygwin/Git Bash) run: cat id_rsa.pub | clip Add your key to your account via the website. Finally setup your .gitconfig. git config --global user.name "bob" git config --global user.email bob@... (don't forget to restart your command line to make sure the config is reloaded) Thats it you should be good to clone and checkout.

[MyRepo (master)]$ git push origin master Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up permission denied (publickey) unexpectedly I followed all the instructions at http://github.com/guides/providing-your-ssh-key and http://github.com/guides/addressing-authentication-problems-with-ssh and verified my connection was working via the ssh git@github.com command, but kept receiving the Permission Denied (publickey) error when trying to push to github. Eventually I stumbled onto a workaround. In your local repository, remove and re-add the remote link. These commands worked for me, but YMMV: git remote rm origin git remote add origin

HTTPS works. March 18, 2014 48.3k views Hi, I have a very basic droplet setup. No firewalls or any sort of security measures are set up. It's virtually open. I wanted to clone a git repo but had some issues. Let me illustrate with an example: ----- $ cd /var/www $ mkdir test $ cd test $ git clone git@github.com:housni/li3_uploadable.git ----- The above gives me: ----- Cloning into 'li3_uploadable'... Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ----- 'li3_uploadable' is a public repo. I know this because I own it. Besides, I have this issue with all the other Github repos. However, I noticed that cloning via HTTPS works: ----- git clone https://github.com/housni/li3_uploadable.git ----- I asked Digitalocean support but they were unable to help me. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks. 2 comments 1 cyphar January 29, 2015 You need to add your public key to GitHub in order to clone through SSH -- even if it is a public repo. Why? Because git needs to authenticate though SSH to GitHub's servers in order to do the clone. And in order to do that, they need to have your public key. 0 ravibhargavsd September 15, 2016 Thanks, It worked for me thanks a lot Log In to Comment Leave a Comment Add comments here to get more clarity or context around a question.

You save my Night!!! I can connect. 1 sleepdreaming March 19, 2014 You need to make sure that you have added the public key from your server to your Github repo first.
