cloning from GitHub on Android using Terminal IDE

Question

I tried following the directions here.

And I keep getting the following message:

ssh: connection to [email protected]:22 exited No auth methods could be used. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly.

Steps I followed

1. Made Key
2. Copied Key to github.

3. Checked Key was working properly by running

   ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected]

4. Created the file ssh-git in ~/local/bin/

   exec ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa "$@"

5. Make the file executable:

   chmod 755 ~/local/bin/ssh-git

6. added the following line to ~/.bashrc

   export GIT_SSH=~/local/bin/ssh-git

7. Ran this

   git clone [email protected]/username/reponame.git

8. And I get the following error:

   ssh: connection to [email protected]:22 exited No auth methods could be used. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly.

Answer 1

As described here you can set up cloning via ssh (HTTPS is not supported) with: first, a passphrase-less key in ~/.ssh/id_pub:

mkdir ~/.ssh
dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
dropbearkey -y -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa | sed -n 2p > ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Second, a wrapper script ~/local/bin/ssh-git and make it executable with chmod +x ~/local/bin/ssh-git:

#!/data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/files/system/bin/bash
exec ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa "$@"

Third, some settings in .bashrc. I have put it in another file included by .bashrc on Android only, so I can use the same .bashrc on other environments too:

export GIT_SSH=~/local/bin/ssh-git
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="USER NAME"
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL

Restart Terminal IDE before this changes can be used.
