Have you ever been delayed by that annoying error which prompts you to share a public key with a git repo ? I have, and I am sure you have too.

Below is a 3 step process that would sort you out in a giffy, and get you back on the road to finishing that app.

The problem usually reads something like this;

What you should do ?

1. In your bash terminal, run

For example;

2. Next run

Copy the gibberish text that shows up.

3. Next,  share it with your git repo. For example, if you use bitbucket, navigate to SSH keys, and click create a new key. And click save.

That is all there is to it. Now re-run the command you wanted to execute before you encountered the permission denied error.

As you can see, it works now. Hope this short post helps someone out there.

Cheers.
