I am new to Git and GitHub.
I created a new repository and tried to clone on my local machine.
It worked for https and git-readonly URLs. That is, the following worked fine:
git clone https://github.com/npsabari/testrepo.git
git clone git://github.com/npsabari/testrepo.git
But when I tried git clone [email protected]:npsabari/testrepo.git
, it didn't work. It gave the following error message:
Cloning into 'testRepo'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
And then I tried ssh [email protected]
, but I got the error:
"Permission denied (publickey)."
instead of the welcome message.
What should I do to fix this? What is the reason for the error?
As per GitHub help, the error you're getting is related to wrong SSH configuration. Please follow indications for setting up SSH for GitHub and check accordingly.
