I'm trying to clone a repo to my work computer so that I can work on a react tutorial and when I say git clone address of the repo I get the following message: 

Cloning into 'ReduxSimpleStarter'...
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '145.40.335.302' to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

Can someone please explain what these lines mean?

It means you are using an ssh url, and your public key (in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is not registered in the remote server ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

If this is a private server, check with its administrator in order for your key to be added.

You can test that with:

ssh -Tv <user>@my.server

  • this is what I get when I enter the command you suggested: OpenSSH_9.4p1, LibreSSL 2.5.0 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config ssh: Could not resolve hostname my.server: nodename nor servname provided, or not known. How can I check my server name? – Ivonne Terrero Sep 13 '17 at 16:35
  • @IvonneTerrero did you replace 'my.server' by your actual server? Is the server github.com? – VonC Sep 13 '17 at 21:16
