you need to create a public key

Code:

ssh-keygen

should do it

I also notice you are root...
it is best you use a 'standard' account

try the git clone with your normal user account, then gen the key if needed and try again

output is....

taaha@taaha-Inspiron-N4050:~$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/taaha/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
open /home/taaha/.ssh/id_rsa failed: Permission denied.
Saving the key failed: /home/taaha/.ssh/id_rsa.

dont know what to do....

Code:

ls -la ~/.ssh

you should see something like this

Code:

drwx------ 1 firerat firerat   84 Aug 15 07:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 firerat firerat  464 Aug 18 14:03 ..
-rw------- 1 firerat firerat 1751 Aug 14 02:11 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 firerat firerat  404 Aug 14 02:11 id_rsa.pub
-rw------- 1 firerat firerat 2592 Aug 17 19:47 known_hosts
-rw------- 1 firerat firerat 1488 Aug 15 05:39 known_hosts.old

taaha · 08-18-2013, 01:57 PM

output is...
taaha@taaha-Inspiron-N4050:~$ ls -la ~/.ssh
ls: cannot open directory /home/taaha/.ssh: Permission denied

when i try with root....i get...
root@taaha-Inspiron-N4050:~# ls -la ~/.ssh
total 20
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 18 16:55 .
drwx------ 12 root root 4096 Aug 18 22:55 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 1675 Aug 18 22:57 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 407 Aug 18 22:57 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2652 Aug 17 21:03 known_hosts
but on generating key and doing git clone same error(publickey) is generated...

also i am running linux along with windows.....

as root

Code:

chown -R taaha:taaha /home/taaha/.ssh
chmod 700 /home/taaha/.ssh
chmod 600 /home/taaha/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 644 /home/taaha/.ssh/{id_rsa.pub,known_hosts*}

go back to taaha, and try again

fatal: Unable to create '/home/taaha/.git/index.lock': Permission denied

when you run git clone it creates a new dir..
cd into that dir, make changes then do your commit

the -m is handy for short commit messages, leave it off and you get a 'full' editor ( using $EDITOR )
-a commits ALL changes ( and only changes, new files will still not be 'seen' )

use

Code:

git add file1 file2 path/to/file3 dir1 path/to/dir2
git commit
