[SOLVED] Permission denied when cloning new repo

Hi!

I'd like to create a new AUR package.

I set up the /home/egidio/.ssh/config file like this:

Host aur.archlinux.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
  User aur

I then created a new SSH key, without a passphrase, with the ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/aur command. I copied the content of the /home/egidio/.ssh/aur.pub file in the SSH Public Key section, AUR - My Account page.

Now I'm trying to clone the new repo with git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/foo.git but I got the following error:

Cloning into 'foo'...
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I'm sure there is something stupid I'm missing, but I cannot get what it is.

Do you know why it is not working?

try "git clone git+ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/package_name.git"

What package are we talking about?

try "git clone git+ssh/aur@aur.archlinux.org/package_name.git"

That worked! Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Permission denied when cloning new repo

There is no reason why that should work better than without the "git+" at the beginning. It is a deprecated, never encouraged alternate spelling for exactly the same thing. In fact, the only place I have ever seen it used is in makepkg source urls, and that because makepkg cuts off the "git+" and uses it to determine which VCS is applicable.

...

Does it work normally without the "git+", now?

Re: [SOLVED] Permission denied when cloning new repo

It comes from the AUR wiki page,  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … w_package/

I do remember having used git+ssh to create the repo for a new package ever since AUR switched to a git-based solution .

Re: [SOLVED] Permission denied when cloning new repo

If I am cloning, and don't plan on pushing, I use git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packageName

Edit  That ^^ turned into a link.  It is not a valid link

Thanks. I've fixed the Wiki.
