git clone ssh 权限被拒绝

Question

I followed the instruction at https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys and typing

ssh -T git@github.com

I get the message

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

When I try to clone a repository using ssh

git clone ssh://github.com/username/repository.git

I get

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

If I type

ssh-add -l

I see 3 keys one attached with my email address (k1) and other 2 inside ~/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) (k2 and k3). the key k3 is the same of k1

if I type

ssh -vT git@github.com

everything is fine...the only line that makes me thinking is

debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version libssh-0.6.0
debug1: no match: libssh-0.6.0

Answer 1

This terribly nondescript error means that the server rejected your connection. Github has a very rich documentation this -

https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey

Update -

Check if the keys and token are setup properly as per the instructions provided by GitHub. If I were you, start from scratch again. May be you haven't properly initialized SSH keys with Github -

cd ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen cat id_rsa.pub

and copy the key into the SSH settings of the Github website.

To clone a Git repository over SSH, you specify ssh:// URL like this:

$ git clone ssh://user@server/project.git

or you can use the shorter scp-like syntax for SSH protocol:

$ git clone user@server:project.git

Just wanted to make sure you're copying a correct SSH clone URL from your Github account -

Answer 2

git clone ssh://github.com/username/repository.git is wrong. You should be doing:

git clone ssh://git@github.com/username/repository.git

or better yet:

git clone git@github.com:username/repository.git

Answer 3

如果它是一个公共存储库，则可以通过使用带有 fetch url 的 git 协议来避免整个密钥的事情。

git clone git://github.com/username/repository.git

--------- SOLUTION FOR WINDOWS USERS ------------------

Was facing the same problem in windows, solved as below:

after successfully setting up private/public key for git you need to naviagte to :

C:\\Program Files\\Git\\etc\\ssh

-- open ssh-config file present under it and add below information :

Host github.com
User git
IdentityFile << absolute path to your private key for git >>

-- restart power shell and try to clone repository again

 git clone  <<url copied from git repo>>
