Could not read from remote repository

Question

I have received the following error multiple times:

Could not read remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repo

Answer 1

If you have updated you OSX recently you have to call ssh-add -A. Have a look at this answer: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/254468/macos-sierra-doesn-t-seem-to-remember-ssh-keys-between-reboots

Answer 2

Make sure you are using the correct SSH keys/usernames on both your GitHub account and your local machine. Here's how you can do that on GitHub

Also, you might consider using an alternative Git manager. I've never heard of Aptana, but I do know that GitHub has an awesome GUI program for managing your repositories.

In the future, this is all much easier and more streamlined on Linux/Unix operating systems like Ubuntu. Ubuntu is geared towards developers and has things like Git and SSH installed correctly by default.

Answer 3

Installing a root/CA Certificate

Given a CA certificate file foo.crt, follow these steps to install it on Ubuntu:

Create a directory for extra CA certificates in /usr/share/ca-certificates:

sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra

Copy the CA .crt file to this directory:

sudo cp foo.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/foo.crt

Let Ubuntu add the .crt file's path relative to /usr/share/ca-certificates to /etc/ca-certificates.conf:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

This is an old post, but this is they only thing that I found that worked.

Answer 4

A simple solution to this is delete the old ssh key from github/gitlab and add the same key again. This is easy work around and you have to hussle with anything

Answer 5

For me, I had followed all the steps mentioned in Adding new ssh key and rest of the auxiliary links related to this issue. But the issue was network access. Solution - using VPN to access my Github Enterprise. (in my case Georgia Tech VPN for github.gatech.edu)

Answer 6

In my case, I generated new key pairs but forgot to update public key in github.com (settings).
