Answer 1

I faced the same issue on my Ubuntu and then I realize that I am on sudo mode, once I just access remote without sudo it went well.

That's how I get rid if the issue, hope it may help.

You need to do in your console (if you use an a putty ssh client):

1. Generate the keys, if keys not exist:

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

Don't forget password, entered at this step!

1. Output your public key to screen:

   cd ~/.ssh && cat id_rsa.pub
   

2. Copy this string by click and move a mouse pointer from begin output to end. No need to press Ctrl + V or any more keys.

3. Log in your account on GitHub and add this public key to https://github.com/settings/ssh

4. Now you can use your git locally.

Answer 3

Permission denied (public key). I encountered this problem today, but I found a solution finally, and successfully solved my problem.

Maybe you should verify following issues：

1. you have a github account
2. git config your username and -mail
3. generate a ssh-key pri/pub pair and add the public key to your git account, please check this may give you help: generating new ssh key and cannot push git repository 'permission denied'
4. check that ssh-key is successfully added: ssh -V username@github.com
5. good luck!

Answer 4

I'd try this out from (Pushing to Git returning Error Code 403 fatal: HTTP request failed):

To definitely be able to login using https protocol, you should first set your authentication credential to the git Remote URI:

git remote set-url origin https://yourusername@github.com/user/repo.git

Then you'll be asked for a password when trying to git push.

Answer 5

fatal: unable to access 'https://......': The requested URL returned error: 403 if you when push your code and see this Error you follow this address in windows

⇒ Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager and remove past account in GitHub

Answer 6

I don't think this will solve your problem since you tested ssh -vT git@github.com directly and it worked, but you are using the ssh-agent improperly. You need to run

$ eval `ssh-agent -s`
Agent pid 767
$ ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.

This will evaluate the environment export commands and allow your ssh-add and ssh commands to communicate with the agent. Alternatively, you can ask the agent to start a shell, terminal, etc. and it will set up the proper environment:

$ ssh-agent bash
$ ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.

In this case, the shell is running as a child of the ssh-agent and the agent will shut down when the shell quits.
