Xcode 10.1 push to github using ssh key

Question

I had created my ssh keys manually from command line and added to my gihub, gitlab accounts. Everything work fine e.g cloning, pushing, pulling etc using command line and source tree client.

The problem is when I try to push using xcode it gives me error saying that Authentication failed because the credentials were rejected. See screenshot

Please note that Xcode is able to clone the repos using ssh keys but is not able to push(for pushing the changes I either use command line or source tree).

is this helpful? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37143563/xcode-authentication-failed-error-when-adding-repository-with-ssh-auth — rLevv, Dec 21 '18 at 07:58
@rLevv sorry it is not helpful. In the link shared by you the address was specified using `git+ssh` but here as you can clearly see in my screenshot i am using address starting with `git` — Khurram Shehzad, Dec 21 '18 at 10:21
Also encountering the same problem. Clone, push, pull all work fine on commandline. Public Key is added to Github. Xcode 10 doesn't play nicely. — HackaZach, Feb 15 '19 at 05:27

Create a key with the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "xxx@yyyy.com" -m PEM

Should add -m PEM

This worked for me. Adding the PEM public key to Github allowed Xcode to integrate successfully. Good catch! – HackaZach Feb 15 '19 at 05:35
I had already created the key and added to gihub, gitlab and bitbucket. Why do I need to regenerate it and add again? – Khurram Shehzad Feb 15 '19 at 13:37
This also fixed the same issue with an on-premise gitlab repo – Marmoy Apr 09 '19 at 12:41
Anyone knows why PEM required? It seem to me the PEM is legacy insecure formed and should not be used. – Sergei Krivonos Feb 02 '20 at 11:32
thank you it worked – Hem Poudyal Jan 19 '22 at 16:54
