Since a few weeks, I'm not able to pull or push from or to the remote repository. I thought it happend when upgrading to IntelliJ IDEA 14, but I can reproduce the problem with IDEA 13.1.5 as well.
The tooltip says "Fetch failed fatal: Could not read from remote repository."
and the exception in the Version Control tab reads
14:02:37.737: cd C:\dev\project 14:02:37.737: git -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin --progress --prune java.io.IOException: Padding in RSA public key! at com.trilead.ssh2.signature.RSASHA1Verify.decodeSSHRSAPublicKey(RSASHA1Verify.java:37) at com.trilead.ssh2.KnownHosts.addHostkey(KnownHosts.java:98) at com.trilead.ssh2.KnownHosts.initialize(KnownHosts.java:414) at com.trilead.ssh2.KnownHosts.initialize(KnownHosts.java:440) at com.trilead.ssh2.KnownHosts.addHostkeys(KnownHosts.java:137) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHMain.configureKnownHosts(SSHMain.java:462) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHMain.start(SSHMain.java:155) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHMain.main(SSHMain.java:137) fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Using the built-in terminal of IntelliJ, executing git -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin --progress --prune
, it works just as it should.
According to the stacktrace, there seems to be a problem with my KnownHosts
, so I deleted our git server from ~/.ssh/known_hosts
, hoping IntelliJ would insert it again. But the problem still appears when updating via the UI, and there is no new entry written in known_hosts
; thinking about some caching of the file, I restarted IntelliJ, without success.
When doing another git fetch
from the terminal, now I'm getting asked if I want to permanently add the server. After that, it has been written to known_hosts
again, but IntelliJ still won't let me update my project.
I haven't found anything about this behavior online, so I guess it's not a known bug with the new IntelliJ version. Nevertheless, I updated to 14.0.2, but the problem still exists.
IntelliJ is configured to use the built-in SSH executable.
Does anybody have a clue what could be the problem here?

Associate the entire project with a single Git repository Alternatively, from the main menu, select VCS | Enable Version Control Integration. Choose Git as the version control system and click OK. After VCS integration is enabled, IntelliJ IDEA will ask you whether you want to share project settings files via VCS.
One way to open the Git Tool window is to hover over the quick access button in the bottom left of the IntelliJ IDEA window, and select Git. This will open the Git log window. Alternatively, we can use ⌘9 on macOS, or Alt and 9, on Windows and Linux, to open the Git Tool window.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Version Control | GitHub. Click Add account, and in the dialog that opens, click Sign up for Github. Register your account on the Sign up for GitHub page that opens. Return to the IntelliJ IDEA settings and specify your credentials.
Settings --> Version Control --> Git
, and then, in the SSH executable dropdown, choose Native
If this doesn't help, ensure that your native ssh
and git
clients are of a sufficiently recent version.
