How to solve “sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation”?
Run ssh-add on the client machine, that will add the SSH key to the agent. Confirm with ssh-add -l (again on the client) that it was indeed added.

Why does git sign with GPG keys rather than using SSH keys?
Update Sept. 2022: 1Password supports generating and storing an SSH key for Git commit signature, recognized by GitHub. Update 2021: OpenSSH 8.2+ is available (packaged for instance in Git For Windows 2.33.1), and “it is now possible to sign arbitrary data with your SSH keys” (Andrew Ayer), including commits in Git. Andrew points to git/git … Read more
How to prevent that the password to decrypt the private key has to be entered every time when using Git Bash on Windows?
For Windows users, just a note that this is how I set up the Git Bash environment to log me in once when I start it up. I edit my ~/.bashrc file: eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add So when I start Git Bash, it looks like: Welcome to Git (version 1.7.8-preview20111206) (etc) Agent pid 3376 Enter passphrase … Read more
Repository access denied. access via a deployment key is read-only
First confusion on my side was about where exactly to set SSH Keys in BitBucket. I am new to BitBucket and I was setting a Deployment Key which gives read-access only. So make sure you are setting your rsa pub key in your BitBucket Account Settings. Click your BitBucket avatar and select Bitbucket Settings(Manage account). … Read more
Having Trouble Switching Github accounts on terminal
The problem is that your local ssh is still offering your “old” SSH key to GitHub. This often comes up when you have one GitHub-recognized key (i.e. your “old” key) loaded in an ssh-agent but want to use a different GitHub-recognized key (i.e. your “new” key). ssh offers keys in this order: specified keys that … Read more
Calculate RSA key fingerprint
Run the following command to retrieve the SHA256 fingerprint of your SSH key (-l means “list” instead of create a new key, -f means “filename”): $ ssh-keygen -lf /path/to/ssh/key So for example, on my machine the command I ran was (using RSA public key): $ ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 2048 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (RSA) To get the … Read more
SSH Key – Still asking for password and passphrase
Add Identity without Keychain There may be times in which you don’t want the passphrase stored in the keychain, but don’t want to have to enter the passphrase over and over again. You can do that like this: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa This will ask you for the passphrase, enter it and it will not ask again … Read more
How to work on personal GitHub repo from office computer whose SSH key is already added to a work related GitHub account?
You can add as many public:private key you want, the idea being to register them in %HOME%/.ssh/config file, in order for you to define remote with ssh addresses like: workgh:Work persgh:Personal See “change github account mac command line” as an example of an ssh/config file. In your case: #Personal GitHub Host persgh HostName github.com User … Read more
Creating SSH keys for Gerrit and Hudson
The OP Josh Smith managed to sort it out: I’d actually needed to add the SSH key from /var/lib/hudson/.ssh/id_rsa.pub for the user (me) into the Gerrit GUI. Then from there it worked like a charm. The username must be the username in Gerrit (the admin account). My original advice is below: What is the user … Read more
How can I transform between the two styles of public key format, one “BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY”, the other is “BEGIN PUBLIC KEY”
I wanted to help explain what’s going on here. An RSA “Public Key” consists of two numbers: the modulus (e.g. a 2,048 bit number) the exponent (usually 65,537) Using your RSA public key as an example, the two numbers are: Modulus: 297,056,429,939,040,947,991,047,334,197,581,225,628,107,021,573,849,359,042,679,698,093,131,908,015,712,695,688,944,173,317,630,555,849,768,647,118,986,535,684,992,447,654,339,728,777,985,990,170,679,511,111,819,558,063,246,667,855,023,730,127,805,401,069,042,322,764,200,545,883,378,826,983,730,553,730,138,478,384,327,116,513,143,842,816,383,440,639,376,515,039,682,874,046,227,217,032,079,079,790,098,143,158,087,443,017,552,531,393,264,852,461,292,775,129,262,080,851,633,535,934,010,704,122,673,027,067,442,627,059,982,393,297,716,922,243,940,155,855,127,430,302,323,883,824,137,412,883,916,794,359,982,603,439,112,095,116,831,297,809,626,059,569,444,750,808,699,678,211,904,501,083,183,234,323,797,142,810,155,862,553,705,570,600,021,649,944,369,726,123,996,534,870,137,000,784,980,673,984,909,570,977,377,882,585,701 Exponent: 65,537 The question then becomes how do we want to store these … Read more
