Teamcity to github List remote refs failed not authorized jgit

Question

Using github for windows on same machine, with same credentials works fine. Can pull/clone.

However teamcity installed as a windows service on the same machine, returns the following error

List remote refs failed: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.TransportException: https://github.com/my-private-repo.git: not authorized

Answer 1

In teamcity, in the project VCS Root, if the authentication method is based on ssh public/private key, then the fetch URL should be like [email protected]:.../repository.git. Using https:// in the fetch URL causes the error message:

List remote refs failed: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.TransportException..

to occur.

Answer 2

In bitbucket, i resolved this by creating an App Password under settings, and used the app password instead of my bitbucket password

Answer 3

Had the same issue and resolved it by creating a Personal Access Token in Github and using it as a password in TeamCity.

Answer 4

Having same error with Stash (=Bitbucket server) and solution was to give the user specified in TeamCity the permissions in Stash to access the repository. Permissions are per-repository.
