I'm wondering if I could get some help. I recently reinstalled my OS and I'm running into a strange issue that I've never run into before. I'm following the Github steps to add ssh agent
Basically, every time I log in I need to run
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_personal
when I reboot my computer.
When I try to run git clone X
I'm getting
Cloning into 'X'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
but after I run the above 2 commands, I can clone just fine
Note: issue is also with Gitlab. Sorry, I should have been explicit
It sounds like you're running on Linux, and your login is probably "bash".
If so, I would consider adding these two lines to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc login file:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_personal
You might also consider trying this:
Try this, I found it somewhere online. Add this to your ~/.bashrc file
if [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] ; then
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/<NAME OF YOUR PRIVATE KEY>
fi
This assumes your private key is located under .ssh. Otherwise, use the adequate path
