I am newby with gitolite. I've install gitolite on a remote server(192.168.1.109)
So I could git-cloning gitolite-admin.git.
git clone ssh://[email protected]/gitolite-admin.git
wanted to add user and repo using gitolite. following is ordinary add user process.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "test" -f test
added the public key in keydir/test.pub
and then, git add
/ git commit
/ git push
is done well, GitServer echo msg for git push is:
Total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: keydir/test.pub: Permission denied
remote: FATAL: fingerprinting failed for 'keydir/test.pub'
To ssh://[email protected]/gitolite-admin.git
5b8c75d..8c12dac master -> master
My remote server is CentOS.
remote: keydir/test.pub: Permission denied
remote: FATAL: fingerprinting failed for 'keydir/test.pub'
How would you avoid that error message?
If you have generated a test.pub
key, you should use a test
user in your gitolite.conf.
Try again, as I mention in:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f "${H}/.ssh/test" -C "Gitolite Admin access (not interactive)" -q -P ""
As illustrated in this blog post:
Digging about in the gitolite code reveals this error is thrown when a regex fails to find a valid looking fingerprint after running
ssh-keygen -l -f 'path/to/key.pub'
. (Seeman ssh-keygen
for details).To resolve the issue, run that command locally and have it generate a valid fingerprint before you push your configuration changes to the gitolite server. I found my issue was that I had failed to include the '
ssh-rsa
' prefix to the key.
