Hello @squarenet
It seems you’re experiencing issues with git push and receiving a Permission denied (publickey) error message. This issue is generally due to the server not recognizing your SSH key.
To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
- Make sure you have the correct SSH key in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file on your local machine.
- Check if your public SSH key is in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on your server, and if it’s not, add it to the file (you can use
ssh-copy-idcommand to do that). - Ensure that the file permissions for the ~/.ssh directory (700) and
~/.ssh/authorized_keysfile (600) are correct on the server.
For more information on working with SSH keys, check out this DigitalOcean guide on Adding SSH Keys.
Hope that this helps!
Heya,
From the error provided, it seems like your public key doesn’t have access to your github repository.
You’ll need to add your server’s public key to your repository in order for you to be able to access it from the server.
