Cannot clone remote git repo via ssh

Time:11-07

New installed Windows 11,created key pair with ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" command and uploaded the content in id_rsa.pub file to the git server, then run git clone git@server:user/repo in windows terminal powershell , then I got the note of Permission denied.

  • I have confirmed the public key I uploaded is correct, and the private key file can be correctly access from git bash, cygwin terminal and windows terminal powershell.

  • I tried to delete the key pair and regenerate one then upload, which is helpless.

  • I tried to change a git server including coding.net, gitee.com and github.com, and the reports are the same.(with Permission denied)

  • I confirm that the remote git repo is existent.

  • I confirm that I can correctly access the git repo via https and username-password authentication.

  • I tried clone the repo on my mac or linux, and they are ok.

After I searched some posts on this site, I tried ssh -v [email protected], then got the report below:

It seems I have right to access the git server, but here is what I received after I rerun the git clone command.

PS D:\Workspace> git clone [email protected]:username/demo-repo.git
Cloning into 'demo'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

What can I do to make it correct?

CodePudding user response:

Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GITEE.COM does not provide shell access.

Your keydoes work for basic authentication, but you are still unable to clone username/demo-repo.git (assuming that "username" is the same one as in the Hi username! message)

As I mentioned before, you might need to create a ed25519 key instead:

cd %USERPROFILE%\.ssh
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C  "[email protected]"  -P "" -f gitee

And a %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config with

Host gitee
  Hostname gitee.com
  User git
  Identityfile ~/.ssh/gitee

Finally: git clone gitee:username/demo-repo.git (no [email protected], just gitee)
