So when I try to pull my own github repository I get

"ssh: Could not resolve hostname main: Name or service not known fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists."

The repository does exists and I'm pretty sure I do have acces rigths, since I configured my ssh keys following github's documentation and I even did it twice (deleting previous attempt)

The ssh key agent is working and the key is in my keychain, so just being curious I tried pinging github.com and a I get this:

"PING github.com (20.201.28.151) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- github.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3146ms" Note that I can ping otther servers like google.com

Using the nslookup github.com command:

"Server: 172.31.144.1 Address: 172.31.144.1#53

Non-authoritative answer: Name: github.com Address: 20.201.28.151 "

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL2. i'd appreciate any help

CodePudding user response：

Look at your ssh error message:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname main: Name or service not known

You're not trying to reach github.com. You're trying to reach main. But ssh has no idea who main is.

Check your Git and ssh configurations: make sure that your URL (as set in Git) refers to github.com rather than main, and then make sure your ssh configuration (in $HOME/.ssh/config) is not re-mapping host name github.com to main.

The lack of ping response is also suspicious, but you'll have to fix the ssh configuration issue before you can get to the next step.
