Here's my situation: I have two private repositories.
Currently i added a remote just for one of them by cloning it.
$ git remote -v
origin [email protected]:syra37fGIT/temp.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:syra37fGIT/temp.git (push)
ssh is configured correctly i think, since:
i generated both private (id_rsa) and public (id_rsa.pub) keys
$ ls -al ~/.ssh
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 1 Pietro 197121 0 Mar 5 00:18 ./
drwxr-xr-x 1 Pietro 197121 0 Mar 17 09:19 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 Pietro 197121 3389 Mar 5 00:18 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 Pietro 197121 747 Mar 5 00:18 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 Pietro 197121 2790 Mar 5 00:29 known_hosts
the public key is correctly setted into my github account Personal settings/SSH and GPG keys
the private key also seems correctly registered
$ eval `ssh-agent -s`
Agent pid 7696
$ ssh-add
Identity added: /c/Users/Pietro/.ssh/id_rsa ([email protected])
as proof, i can actually push commits into the added repository whithout problems (no password required since ssh is active)
(master)$ echo -e "\ndamn u damn" > README.txt
(master)$ git add .
(master)$ $ git commit -m "damn u commit"
[master dae7dfd] damn u commit
1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
(master)$ git push

and also the authentication test works
$ ssh -T [email protected]
Hi syra37fGIT! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Given this, when i try to clone the other repository, the error message below appears...
$ git clone [email protected]:syra37fGIT/Angular.git
Cloning into 'Angular'...
\302\[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Every tips suggested in https://help.github.com/en/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey is satisfied (i'm on windows machine). Where i'm doing wrong?
Just a tip: there's a chance that one of there two repositories was first cloned with https and then transformed into ssh (FROM HTTPS TO SSH)... I can't tell if this can be a clue or not to the problem.
UPDATE: as the comment below suggests, the problem was that while visually the repo string was correct, the actual one sent was wrong. The issue is solved.
As seen here, if the command is the result of a copy-paste, it can embark invisible special characters which will make the command fails.
A basic double-check to do in this instance is to type again the command manually, and see if the issue persists.
As commented here, '\302\226' is 0xC2 0x96 aka U+0096 in UTF-8 encoding.
See more here:
The original source for this was likely a byte 0x96 in some single-byte 8-bit encoding that has been transcoded incorrectly somewhere along the way. Probably this was originally a Windows CP1252 en dash "
–", which has byte value 96 in that encoding, which has been translated to UTF-8 as though it was latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1), which is not uncommon.
