Answer 1

1. Go to Settings->Git->Select Native in SSH executable dropdown. (If it is not selected)
2. Copy HTTPS link from your Github repository.
3. Go to VCS->Git->Remotes..
4. Edit the origin and Paste HTTPS link in the URL field.
5. Press Ctrl+Shift+k and push the project to repository. It works.

Answer 2

in pyCharm,

file|
    v-->settings|
                v-->Version Control|
                                   v-->Git

Here change SSH executable from Built-in into Native

then press apply and close

Answer 3

I tried all solutions above (Native, changing url of VCS repository, updating Git, updating IDEA, invalidating Caches), but nothing helped me. Finally I found solution that works for me.

SOLUTION: I closed Idea and replaced content of file ~\.IntelliJIdea20xx.x\config\options\git.xml with this:

<application>
  <component name="Git.Application.Settings">
    <option name="SSH_EXECUTABLE" value="IDEA_SSH" />
  </component>
</application>

Then I started IDEA, try to checkout SSH GIT repository and it works and existing projects works as well. Interesting fact is that when I switch to NATIVE in Idea Settings, repository not working.

Answer 4

I had the same problem. Was using bitbucket and had trouble in pulling/updating the repository on Intellij. Tried changing to native and back to built in, but it was not working. Then realized that I had generated the ssh key with a passphrase.

I regenerated the key without the passphrase and then added it to the bitbucket. It worked !

Answer 5

Ensure that you've changed the link to the git repository to the HTTPS option after you've selected "Native" in IntelliJ settings if SSH doesn't work.

Answer 6

The problem is solved in my pc.
settings-->Version Control-->Git ,and then, In the SSH executable drop-down, select built-in option.

and install git older version something like 2.14.2.
Its works good!
