Git 101: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)

[ZuluPilgrim]

I am trying to install from source. When I run the "git clone [email protected]:pglombardo/PasswordPusher.git" command, the download fails with "[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)" followed by "fatal: Could not read from remote repository".

What am I missing?

Hi @ZuluPilgrim - did you add your SSH key to your Github account? If not, then use HTTP method instead:

git clone https://github.com/pglombardo/PasswordPusher.git

Some other general troubleshooting information is here:

• https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/troubleshooting-ssh/error-permission-denied-publickey
• https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account

Or as a last option, you could download a release zip file (at the bottom of this page):

Many thanks that was it :)
