Github: Permission denied (publickey), but I got the message "You have successfully authenticated"

Question

The step I took: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/ to follow exactly.

$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" Agent pid 31944 $ ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/centos7/.ssh/id_rsa: Identity added: /home/centos7/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/centos7/.ssh/id_rsa) $ ssh-add -l 4096 ab:4d:23:23:99:ce:bb:9d:9f:9e:f9:b2:c8:1a:cd:f7 /home/centos7/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) 

However, when I run

 $ git clone [e-mail] :privateRepo/repo.git Cloning into 'repo'... The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.252.130)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 56:27:ac:a5:36:28:2d:36:23:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.252.130' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. 

Below is the output that I run

As you can see from the line above, Hi tomkim! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. Hi tomkim! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. , which means that I am no longer verified, but why can't I clone my repo?

Update: I can clone in my home directory, but when I try to use sudo, this does not work, it happens in my / var / www / html / folder

$ sudo git clone git @ github.privateRepo / repo.git Cloning to "repo" ... Warning. The RSA host key for the IP address "192.30.252.131" is constantly added to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Failed to read from remote repository.

Please make sure that you have the correct permissions and the repository exists.

I know I can clone HTTPS, but I would like to solve this problem, can anyone help?

Answer 1

The answer is related to the issue of resolving user rights. I need to set the correct folder permission for the current user.

For the git sudo problem, the answer can be found in the following link:

https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey/#should-the-sudo-command-be-used-with-git

Thanks to Chris for studying this subject.

Answer 2

use this https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/

then get your generated key (start with ssh-rsa or another type) go to the user panel git → SSH and GPG Keys → New SSH key → insert your key (fill in the header with any), then press the Add SSH key

It will be fixed.

good luck.

Answer 3

Copy the public SSH key to your SSH directory.

 cd ~/.ssh cat id_rsa.pub 

Copy the pub key and paste it under the “SSH and GPG key” in the “Settings” GIT section.

Click on your profile photo → "Settings" → "SSH and GPG key", Now add the copied text.
