Admin cannot clone all repos in workspace

Question

I made a colleague admin of a workspace, yet he cannot clone all repositories in that workspace. He could clone one of the repositories, but not another.

He has added an SSH key in the account and to ~/.ssh/config.

Anyone has an idea of what might be the reason and how to solve it?

I had the same issues and adding :

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/{my ssh key name}"

did fix it thank you so much you saved so much time !!!!

We found the reason. He had added his SSH key to one repository instead of to his account. Therefore he could clone that repository but not another.

Hello,

One possible reason I can think of is that an incorrect SSH key may be used to clone the repo.

Assuming that the name of the private key he generated for his Bitbucket account is named id_rsa, I would suggest asking him to clone with the following command and see if it works:

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa" git clone git@bitbucket.org:ingridcloud/geometry.git

If this also fails, then we would need to see the output of:

ls -lah ~/.ssh

to see if there are more than one SSH keys there, the output of

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -Tvvv -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa" git clone git@bitbucket.org:ingridcloud/geometry.git

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -Tvvv" git clone git@bitbucket.org:ingridcloud/geometry.git

so that we have more verbose output on the clone commands (both with and without specifying the SSH key to be used)

and also the contents of his ~/.ssh/config file, just the entries that are referring to bitbucket.org

Kind regards,
Theodora
