SSH "no such file or directory" error on git push-CodePudding

I have a private key that lives at ~/.ssh/github_rsa, and the corresponding public key has been uploaded to my Github account. I created a repository and set it up as the remote for the directory I'm working from, and in that directory's .git folder, I have the following config file:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    sshCommand = 'ssh -i ~/.ssh/github_rsa -o IdentitiesOnly=yes'
[remote "repoName"]
    url= [email protected]:myusername/repoName.git
    fetch =  refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/repoName/*

When I run git push -u repoName main, I get the following error:

'ssh -i ~/.ssh/github_rsa -o IdentitiesOnly=yes': line 1: ssh -i github_rsa -o IdentitiesOnly=yes: No such file or directory
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Removing -o IdentitiesOnly=yes has no effect. Changing permissions on the key from 600 to 400 also had no effect. The file definitely exists, and exists at exactly that path.

CodePudding user response：

gitconfig doesn't recognize single quotes. Use double quotes.

[core]
    sshCommand = "ssh -i ~/.ssh/github_rsa -o IdentitiesOnly=yes"
