SourceTree CLI public key problem

Question

Hello,

I set up Bitbucket and am using SourceTree to communicate

with my repository. I use SSH, and everything works fine

with the SourceTree graphical interface: i am able to

clone repositories, make commits and push/pull requests.

But when I open the CLI integrated in SourceTree (MINGW32),

then i am not able to clone repositories or make push commands.

When i attempt to do this, i get the following from the cLI:

******

Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

******

I get this error messages when doing the following command:

git clone <repository>

git push (after successfull commit)

The following commands to work in the CLI:

git status

git log

git branch --all

git commit

git add --all

I am using a WIN7 machine.

Please help!

To do this I ended up exporting my .ppk to and OpenSSH compatible public/private key under dkassa\.ssh and following this advice to add a .bashrc. It's not as integrated as I was hoping for but it works.

Have you resolved this? I had a similar issue and it was because I was using the https URL for access. I just had to change it to the ssh version and it worked just fine.

Run this:

git remote -v

If origin shows an address starting with `https://yourhost`, change it to the ssh version:

git remote set-url origin git@yourhost.com:yourproject.git

I tried both System Git and Embedded Git but still get the same problem. I have System Git Version 1.9.4 and Embedded Git Version 1.8.3.

Maybe this info helps: When I installed SourceTree, i used the key generator within Sourcetree and generated the public and private key for my first Bitbucket account. I saved public and private key on my C: drive in FolderA. Then I copied the public key on the Webbrowser into my first Bitbucket Account. I did the same with the second public and private key. So in SourceTree, i log in with my first account to access the repos of my first Bitbucket account and that works fine. For access to the second account, i use the second username and password in Sourcetree and then go to Tools -> Options and choose the folder where my second private key is stored (on folder B on my C: drive). That second way works fine as well in Sourcetree, i can clone repos etc.

But once i open the command line tool, then i am not able to clone repos.

I saw that there is a .ssh folder as well on my C: drive which contains the 3 file github_rsa, github_rsa.pub and know_hosts. I wonder what that has to do with Sourcetree and the command line tool.

Please help!!!
