Answer 1

If you have generated a test.pub key, you should use a test user in your gitolite.conf.

Try again, as I mention in:

• "gitolite setup getting FATAL: fingerprinting failed for '/tmp/Q3pnE4WVbu'"
• "Gitolite - remote: FATAL: fingerprinting failed for 'keydir/'"

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f "${H}/.ssh/test" -C "Gitolite Admin access (not interactive)" -q -P ""

As illustrated in this blog post:

Digging about in the gitolite code reveals this error is thrown when a regex fails to find a valid looking fingerprint after running ssh-keygen -l -f 'path/to/key.pub'. (See man ssh-keygen for details).

To resolve the issue, run that command locally and have it generate a valid fingerprint before you push your configuration changes to the gitolite server. I found my issue was that I had failed to include the 'ssh-rsa ' prefix to the key.
