Deployment - fatal: Authentication failed

[Vinny]

Locally, pull/push and all other git commands work as expected. Although during deployment (Capistrano) I get "fatal: Authentication failed"

I have tried variations of ssh and https:

ssh://git@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git

git@bitbucket.org:user/repo.git

https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git
https://user@bitbucket.org/user/repo.git

When prompted for user name and password, details are entered correctly, but the authentication fails. SSH keys have been added to bitbucket user account and a read only key has been added to the deployment keys which has made no difference in the authentication issue.

Is there some OS related issue here, perhaps cURL?

I had two remote git hosts, realised Capistrano was explicitly calling "origin" during the final stages. Fixed by manually editing git config.

Glad you got this sorted. In the future, if you run into problems we have this documentation:

Thanks for the link, but this in the end was purely an issue with git configuration not with SSH.

Yes, I understood it was your configuration. I should have been more specific, if you have SSH problems --- since you started your troubleshooting with that assumption, the page might have helped you rule SSH faster.
