If you receive a permission denied error, it means that the server is rejecting your Git connection. Some common reasons for the failure are:
not using the
sudocommandconnecting to the wrong server
not verifying your SSH key
not attaching the public key to your account
Using the sudo command
The sudo command is not typically used with Git. However, if you are using it, make sure to do so with every command otherwise Git does not process it.
Connecting to the correct server
It is possible that you are not using the correct server. To verify, open terminal and use the following command to make sure that you are using the server connected with your Assembla git repository:
ssh -vT git@git.assembla.com
Verifying your SSH key
Be sure that you have a private key created and loaded into SSH.
If you need to add a new SSH key, open terminal and use the ssh-add command. If a long string of numbers and letters is not generated, you must generate a new SSH key, and then associate it with Assembla.
Attaching the public key to your account
In order to enable a secure connection, you must provide your public key to Assembla.
To provide your public key to Assembla
Open terminal.
Start the SSH engine.
Type
ssh -vT git@git.assembla.comPress Enter.
If you are successful, the following message appears in the output:
Welcome! You have successfully authenticated
If you do not see a welcome message, your SSH key setup was not successful.
