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

Question

Problem :

I am trying to use the TortoiseGit on my Windows. But when I want to Clone it from my context menu of the standard Windows Explorer then I face below error:

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

In more detail the complete snapshot of my terminal is as below:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (21450 ms @ 17.12.2019 10:36:58)

What should I do to make my git work correctly ?

Answer 1

You are probably trying to clone your repository over the ssh: git@arobotdev..., and the SSH keys must not be properly set on the server. There may be multiple reasons for this:

1.      Your public key must not be saved in your authorized_keys file of the user git

2.      If 1 is not true then  the private key is not saved properly in .ssh/ folder of your HOMEDIR.

3.      The Permissions are not properly set

If all the above 3 are untrue then please try: git@arobotdev:AlfaRobot.git Assuming your AlfaRobot.git is in your HOMEDIR of git user and not inside the folder called git which resides in the HOMEDIR of user git.
