'Git project permission denied

I ran

git clone [email protected]:{username}/{project}.git

fatal: Could not rerad from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

so:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

No such file or directory, hmm...

mkdir ~/.ssh/id_rsa

WARNIG: UNPORTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! Permissions 0775 for .... are too open.



Solution 1:[1]

To complemet the comments and the steps to follow, keep in mind ssh-add is only needed if you have created a private key protected with a passphrase.

If you use

cd ~
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
cd .ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""

That will create id_rsa and id_rsa.pub, the latter (public key) is to be registered in your GitHub profile settings.

Test the access with ssh -Tv [email protected] to ensure yu are correctly authenticated.
