Cannot clone repository: FATAL: R any gitolite-admin gitolite DENIED by fallthru

Question

I\'m setting up gitolite for first time. I\'m following this instructions.

When I ssh, it looks fine:

$ ssh -p 2222 gitolite@debian
PTY allo         


        

Answer 1

If you have a ~/.ssh/config file, you need to use the scp-like syntax for your ssh url:

git clone debian:gitolite-admin.git

With a config like:

host debian
  user gitolite
  hostname debian
  identityfile ~/.ssh/gitolite
  port 2222

And you are not supposed to specify the full path of the repo.
