Git push keep getting permission denied after mac 10.9.2 update

Wondering if anyone experiencing the same issue with OSX 10.9.2 Update. After installing that update, I couldn't do git push anymore, keep getting permission denied(public key).

Have tried to generate a new ssh pair, and reenter the new key to server, but still no luck.

Also tried to do it on another git hosting after inserting a new key, still doesnt work. So I guess its not a server problem, but a OSX 10.9.2 issue.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Solution

  • I ran into the same problem with the Mavericks 10.9.2 update. Anything using your ssh public key (ssh, git, svn, etc) will have a problem. It seems that the ssh agent somehow forgot about your key.

    Running ssh-add from the terminal fixed it for me. From these sources:
