git clone fails for Heroku project

Question

(on Mac) I\'m trying to clone my project from my new computer. I first generated the ssh key pairs:

heroku keys:add /Users/y/.ssh/heroku_rsa.pub

<

Answer 1

heroku git:clone -a "your_project_name_on_heroku"

This simple command works fine (provided that your ssh key is correctly added before)

Answer 2

I had a similar problem. At first, I did not have a key called id_rsa.pub. I only had a key for github: github_rsa.pub. I ran heroku keys and saw that it did recognize that I had a key. But apparently heroku does not like that github key. Here's what I did:

$ssh-keygen -t rsa
$heroku keys:clear
$heroku keys:add 
$git clone git@heroku.com:my-app.git -o heroku

This downloaded all the files for the project successfully.

Answer 3

It looks like your key is not loaded. Only default named key (id_rsa) loaded by default. Load the heroku key by using ssh-add command:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/heroku_rsa
