TortoiseGit: Access denied

Question

I have a problem with tortoiseGit. When I use clone, pull or push in tortoise it always reports "acces denied". But if I use the console it works without problems.

I tried reinstalling git/tortoiseGit but it doesn't help.

this is from tortoiseGit:

git.exe clone      --progress -v  "ssh://[email protected]:7722/var/lib/git/    NavisIZS2014" "D:\work\workspace\IZS2014\NavisIZS2014"

Cloning into 'D:\work\workspace\IZS2014\NavisIZS2014'...
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.


git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (2016 ms @ 25. 11. 2013 9:17:24)

and when I use console:

D:\work\workspace\IZS2014>git.exe clone      --progress -v  "ssh://[email protected]:7722/var/lib/git/NavisIZS2014" "D:\work\workspace\IZS2014"
Cloning into 'D:\work\workspace\IZS2014'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

Solution 1

Since you are authenticating via ssh, it's likely that Tortoise Git cannot find your ssh keys.

You can specify the key path in Toirtoise Git by navigating to

Settings > Git > Remote

and setting the Putty Key field, as explained here.

Solution 2

1. Update TortoiseGit.
2. SEt connection in updateed Tortoise. Settings - Network - SSh - SSH client. Set new TortoisePlink.exe through Browse.
3. Try again.
