repository access denied

mheavers
mheavers December 29, 2014

Hi - I am getting the following error now to a repo I used to be able to push to:

```

Pushing to git@bitbucket.org:digitalpulp/cornell.git
conq: repository access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

````

 

I even created a separate public key for bitbucket vs git, which didn't fix the issue. This is my .ssh/config:

```

# Default GitHub user

Host github.com
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Bitbucket
Host bitbucket.org
HostName bitbucket.org
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bitbucket

```

I followed all of the instructions here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=271943168&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fconfluence.atlassian.com%2Fpages%2Fviewpage.action%3FpageId%3D271943168&application=cac

 

And added my public keys to the repo.

 

I ran:

```

ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org.

````

This was the output:

````

Any ideas what to try next? Pushing to this repo used to work for me...

In the url, replace git with your bitbucket.org username. For example;

url = git@bitbucket.org:digitalpulp/cornell.git

 becomes

 url = digitalpulp@bitbucket.org:digitalpulp/cornell.git

That should solve the problem if you are the repository owner. If not, you also need to be given read/write permissions by the repository admin or owner.

Yes this worked, Paul Kleimeyer's answer above did not for some reason?

Thanks!

I also had to add this to my .profile

eval `ssh-agent -s`

ssh-add

ssh-add ~/.ssh/other-key

@tokoiwesley  Thanks for the tip. 

When did this change happen? 

I am pulling from the same repo on 2 different machines. One works with the git username, the other doesn't. The one that does not work is on a more recent git build. Is that related?

 

Thanks
   Matt

@matthewsohswg I suppose.

Lately, on a new machine I cloned my repos successfully without having to replace git with my bitbucket.org username in the url.

When did this change happen? 

I first encountered this issue around the time I posted my workaround.

Thanks Wesley. I posted this question to support. If I hear back, I'll update this thread. Glad to have found your workaround, I wasted a day debugging this until I stumbled upon your solution.

Better late than never, I suppose...

In the .git/config file of your working folder, change

    url = git@bitbucket.org:digitalpulp/cornell.git

to

    url = bitbucket.org:digitalpulp/cornell.git

In other words, everything before the colon must exactly match a 'Host' in your ~/.ssh/config

Holy macaroo! It works! Thank you!

 

Originally it was intermittent failure. And then today, complete failure.

Why bitbucket change the original behaviour? Why even the clone instruction still includes `git@`?

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

Im the owner of that repo, and this log obtained while I tried to pull. And yes, I have access through web.
