Dear all,

I'm trying to create a new repository at GitHub following the manual. I already did the first steps at GitHub, but when I try the remote push I'm getting this error during the first connection attempt:

Quote:
Cannot get remote repository refs.

Reason:
Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command


I already verified all my keys after the March issue so I don't have much explanation for this. My specs: Eclipse 3.7.1 with EGit 1.3.0.

Thank you for reading.

Hello again,

Today I created a new repo at GitHub and successfully pushed there a dummy project from the command line. Whatever is the issue, it seems solely related to GitHub.

Regards.

It happens Eclipse needs to have the GIT_SSH environment variable poiting to the ssh bin in order to connect to GitHub. In my case I had to include this in /etc/environment (Ubuntu):

GIT_SSH=/usr/bin/ssh


You have to adapted this to your system.

Thank you for reading.
