Gitup: Failed connecting to "origin" remote while trying to pull

Created on 25 Apr 2016 · 8Comments · Source: git-up/GitUp

When I try to pull I get the following error:

Failed connecting to "origin" remote: error authenticating: failed connecting with agent

It works fine from the command line.

What could be causing this?

Make sure your SSH private keys are either in ~/.ssh/ or better added to the SSH agent, which you can do with ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/my_private_key.

Seems like an SSH authentication problem. What's the full URL of your remote?

I have my private key at ~/.ssh/id_rsa but for some reason gitup doesn't seem to be picking it up. I've been using it for some months now and it is the first time this happens.

I too have my private key at ~/.ssh/id_rsa.
I have added my to SSH agent
I have confirmed ssh access to github ssh -T [email protected].

GitUp asks for user name and password. I would like to use my ssh key.

Your git URL must be an SSH one, not HTTPS.

the same problem. The ssh-key is ok
if I do push from the console then there is no problem.

Reading this comments I found out that I was loading the incorrect set of ssh keys. Once I loaded the correct ones in GitKraken everything started working again. Thanks!

For me, despite initially granting access, after checking here: https://github.com/settings/connections/applications/a7557949433b7d282a76
It was revoked, so I had to just re-grant access.
