git clone/push gives error: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). assembla

Question

I am trying to pull/push the code from a repo on assembla but I am facing this error all the times.

I already uploaded the key to assembla account but still facing this issue.

Answer 1

I followed these instructions from assembla and was able to clone a repository from there:

The only thing of note is, that I had to create the following entry in ~/.ssh/config:

Host assembla Hostname git.assembla.com User git IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_assembla IdentitiesOnly yes

followed by using the following clone command:

git clone "assembla:username^reponame.git"

From your snapshot, it would appear that you are using Windows, therefore the location of the private key (id_rsa_assembla or whatever you are using) as well as the location of the ssh_config file will depend on how you installed git. See this question.

Answer 2

In case someone faced this problem in Windows -> Git Bash and the above didnt work, when copying from the website and pasting (CNTRL + Insert in Git Bash) directly from the web it inserts some special characters at the start of the string, leading to this error:

\302\[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).

Make sure you delete those special characters, or try manually typing the command.
