Hi everyone,

I use git so that I can work on the same versions of my projects from both my desktop and my laptop; it has worked great until now. I made a new project on my laptop and tried to push it to github and got this error:

(I have a forum restriction on links, please copy and paste, removing the extra space)
http:/ /pyraetos.net/capture.png

I was able to push it by zipping up the whole project and emailing it to myself, retrieving it on my desktop, importing it into the Eclipse workspace on my desktop, and pushing it from there. However, I am still unable to push this project on my laptop.

It's weird because my other projects work just fine from my laptop so I can't imagine having any unsatisfactory settings.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Can you post some details, preferrably as text rather than screenshot.

I can't really explain it. Are you having trouble with the screenshot?

- Can you provide an explanation which steps you did until you hit this error dialog ?
- Which version of EGit/JGit are you using ?
- Are you using different ssh key pairs on these two computers ?
- Are you sure you used the right passphrase for the ssh key on the computer where it failed ?

RefSpecImpl.revalidateImpl() throws an exception which is converted to the dialog you are seeing.
Can you post the details you get when clicking the "Details" button ?

Here is a patch to ensure the error is logged

I don't even know how to apply the patch :/ I've still got a lot to learn.

I'll try to provide as much information as possible.

I make changes to files in a project and save it, then commit to the local repository without problem. Right clicking my project folder, I go to Team>Remote>Push... and see the Push window. Usually the URI I want to use is filled in for me due to some settings, but since I've tried disconnecting my project from using Git and starting fresh I've had to paste the URI each time. I'm just using the clone URI found on the repository's Github page.

When I press next, it quickly turns up with a dialog saying
Transport Error
Cannot get remote repository refs.
Reason:
org.eclipse.jgit.transport.CredentialItem$StringType:Passphrase for C:\Users\Pyraetos\.ssh\id_rsa

Using the Details button reveals nothing but the same information under "Reason:"

As for the version of EGit, I went to Help>About Eclipse and found a button for EGit. It seems to be 3.2.0.201312181205-r

At the time I posted this, I do not believe I was using different SSH keys on the two computers. I may be now because I generated a new one and loaded it into both Eclipse and Github to no avail.

As for the passphrase, I don't get far enough into the pushing process for it to ask me for a passphrase. This error occurs on the page directly after I enter the URI.

Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but under Team>Remote, the two options on the bottom (Configure push and Configure fetch) are grayed out on my desktop but are available on my laptop. I don't know why.

Thank you very much for helping me with this confusing problem!

I still cannot resolve this error, I've tried reinstalling eclipse, recreating the repositories several times, and even using HTTPS instead of SSH to push to GitHub. I always get an error, either the same one above, or "Auth fail," or, in the case of HTTPS, "Cannot open git-receive-packet." It never pushes to GitHub and I am getting quite frustrated because I really need this functionality but it's a little too complicated for me Sad

The patch was merged for EGit 3.4.0 RC2 you may install the latest 3.4 version from
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-stable-nightly
The final 3.4.0 will be available with Luna end of June.

Did you maybe install Eclipse in a folder with restricted access (e.g. Programs folder on Windows) ?
Can you push over ssh using native git ?
