Hi,

Using E-Git when I try to do a push of my application, when I fill the Window of Push to Another repository following the instructions that are in http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide . Copy the URI when I have the repository on Github ---> git@github.com:egoitz/HelloWorld.git

But unfortunatelly the I click the next Button, it gives me following error: Cannot get remote repository refs Reason:git@github.com:egoitz/HelloWorld.git Auth. falied

I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this question.

Thanks withj anticipation.

Regards

Hi,
you choosed the wrong URL. If you go to your repositories homepage http://github.com/egoitz/HelloWorld then you see that the git URL you choosen is explicitly "read-only". So, you can't push to this URLs. See http://help.github.com/forking/ and there you see that you need your private clone URL (something like git@github.com:egoitz/HelloWorld .git) to have write (push) access. Don't use the public clone URL.

Ciao
Chris

Hello to all, I just joined the forum because I wanted to help Chris.

I got the same problem: being behind a firewall, http/https was the only protocol I could use, but was completely unsuccessful.

The problem is (as written in the documentation):
"Note: EGit 0.9 does not yet support authentication via HTTP or HTTPS protocol."

So you cannot push with EGit to any repository using https because it is not yet supported.

In the meantime, I am using my local repository, waiting for the feature to be added. I really hope this is done soon.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

That's a different problem. People not sitting behind a proxy (I guess that 'lanz' is not sitting behind a proxy) should be able to push via ssh to github like I described.

But you are right: the support for https is really missing. We are working on that.

Ciao

I'm using Egit to do the same thing: push a local repository to github.

I get the same error message, and I'm using ssh and using the Read+Write address.

My keys are set up, I uploaded my public key to github (that's just copy-paste right?), but I still don't know what's wrong.

I'm fairly new to this, can anyone help?
