Openshift plone quickstart permission denied

Question

I'm trying to set up plone on openshift using this guide, on windows. I've got git and rhc following the openshift quickstart guide. However, when I get to git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master in the plone guide, I get a permission denied error:

The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.252.130)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.252.130' (RSA) 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.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I did add the ssh key during rhc setup. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Turns out I needed to set up my public key in github too. Once I configured git and github it worked. For anyone else encountering this problem, here's what I did:

1. Added the same public key used in openshift to github here (obviously needed to login first)

2. Set up my name and email in git using git config --global user.name "My Name" and git config --global user.email "my@email.com"

I don't know git, github or ssh well enough to understand why it was necessary to log into github first, but it worked. I hope this helps someone else!

A simple solution is: Use the https url instead of the ssh url.

I.e.: Use https://github.com/kagesenshi/plone-openshift-quickstart.git instead of git@github.com:kagesenshi/plone-openshift-quickstart.git
