git - error while trying to commit a C++ project

Question

I have made a repository on bitbucket.org for a C++ project.

I downloaded git on my computer installed it and also installed as client, SmartGIT.

I have generated a set of keys by using puttygen. After the generating step, I have added the public key data in bitbucket in the SSH keys section of my project and while cloning the repository on my computer by using SmartGIT, I have added the OpenSSH key saved from puttygen.

I have added my project in the repository folder from my computer and now, when I try to commit my changes, I receive the following error:

The remote end hung up unexpectedly.
conq: repository access denied. access via a deployment key is read-only.

What should I do in order to be able to commit changes on the repository? I am a beginner at using GIT.

Answer 1

You've most likely added your SSH key to the Deployment Keys section of our project. Keys added there will only give read only access.

What you want to do is to remove the key from there and instead add it under Manage Account -> SSH keys. Keys added there will give full read/write access to repositories your user has access to.

I'm not sure what happens if you added a key in both places, but just in case you have, remove the key from deployment keys.
