Today’s micro post is about git and ssh.
Typically when doing work for multiple companies I like to generate a new SSH
key for each using ssh-keygen.
I ran into an issue the other day when trying to use my ssh key to do a git pull:
Permission denied (publickey).
The fix was simple, I just had to ssh-add the newly created key:
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/file_name
Where file_name is the name of your private key file.
After that, try pulling again and everything should work.
Using the -K switch will add your key to the os x keychain and persist the
adding of the key from reboots, etc…
