SSH Key error while pushing info to BitBucket

[Venkata S. Vellanki]

When I used Ruby on Rails to create sample project on my virtual machine using Ubuntu, I created an SSH key and saved in the folder ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

I have also saved this SSH key on Bit Bucket.

But error of invalid key comes when try to push this.

When I use cloud environment for ROR projects, I could push the information of the project to Bit Bucket without any error.

Also in Ubuntu 2 separate SSH keys were created probably when I was in 2 different directories like ~/workspace or ~/workspace/hello_app

I however uploaded both the SSH keys on Bitbucket.

So how to resolve the error when trying to push the info to Bitbucket repository from my virtual machine using Ubuntu.

I found out the error. When I generated key while in ~/.ssh/ instead of generating it while in another directory,  the key started working and I could push the info to repository. Thank you.

Hi Venkata, 

Can you let us know what happens when you run the following command?

$ ssh -T git@bitbucket.org

This might not be your case, but as a quick test, what happens if you run the push command using sudo in front of?

Also, this can happen due to a variety of reasons such as 1) your public key not loaded in your Bitbucket account 2) your key not loaded onto your ssh-agent etc.

This document does a good job of walking you through the process of troubleshooting your problems. There is a specific section for the Permission denied (publickkey) error as well that you might find useful.

I am getting the following error:

~/workspace/hello_app$ git push -u origin --all

Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

I created the key as follows and copied the public key to the directory  ~/.ssh/ :

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa (this command was made while in home directory)

Generating public/private rsa key pair.

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/venkata/.ssh/id_rsa): id_rsa

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

Enter same passphrase again:

Your identification has been saved in id_rsa.

Your public key has been saved in id_rsa.pub.

and then using cat command, displayed and then copied to Bitbucket. The repository hello_app was created in BitBucket. Presently this repository is empty.
