Git - ssh-key on server

Question

I created a ssh-key on my local computer and added the public key to my git-account.

Works like a charm.

I am not asked to type my username+password when I clone any repository.

Next, I ssh into my server and created a ssh-key the same way and added the public key to git-account as well.

I did this because I just want to clone/pull from my repository so I have the most stable version from my git-repo on my server.

But when I clone the repository to get it on my server, I am asked for username+password.

What did i wrong or do have to do other stuff?

What was the root cause in your case? – VonC Jan 06 '16 at 15:39 — VonC, Jan 06 '16 at 15:39

It can be because:

either the git clone ssh:// does not find id_rsa/id_rsa.pub in $HOME/.ssh: check you user account, and check if the rights on the $HOME and $HOME/.ssh and the key files themselves are correct.
or the public key (id_rsa.pub) has been incorrectly copied to your server git account profile (for instance, with a newline in it)
