Asked by pmcgeough
I have set up a LAMP application on my droplet
I have used my set DO ssh key which is the same used for my mac and my bitbucket account.
I install git and create a folder at the /var/www level.
CD into the folder and run my git clone command but get the following error
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address ‘131.103.20.167’ to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Any ideas how to fix this? *ssh keys not my strong point
