Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So I'm trying to clone my repo on bitbucket into a folder inside my centos 7 VPS and I keep getting that error.

I will note that I haven't added any keys to the repository. Do I have to? I had previously generated a ssh key in my local computer which I then added to another one of my repositories (not the one I'm cloning).

How do I fix this?

Hi Nelson,

yes I would try adding your generated ssh key to the repo you're trying to clone.

I hope that helps!

Thank you for that.
I generated a ssh key in my server and added the public key to the repository I was trying to clone and it worked perfectly! I couldn't add the key that already existed on my local computer because bitbucket complained that the key was being used by another repository, which makes sense. Is there a way to have one key for all my repositories instead of having to generate new keys? I might be missing something.

After adding the public key from my server to the repository, I now can't `git push origin master` from my local machine to that repo, which I could do before. Am I supposed to copy the server's private key onto my local machine or what? If so, where would I store the file and what else would I have to do? If not, what then?
Is there a better way to do all this?

Hi Nelson,

typically you setup your own private/public key pair, keep the private key on your machine and upload your public key to bitbucket.

See here for the Cloud docs: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/set-up-an-ssh-key-728138079.html

I hope that helps!

Hi.
I already have a ssh key pair on my local machine but I've added that public key to a repository on bitbucket. Trying to add the same public key to yet another repository refused to work.

Regarding the `git push origin master` issue, that's because I generated a ssh key pair on my server and added that public key to the repository - the server's public key that is. Trying to push from my local computer is what raises the error.

What can I do about that?
