Not working for private repository

[webmarts2019]

Hi
I am trying to use this script for private repository, but its not working, although SSH is set up properly n gitlab but if I try to test

" fatal: could not read Username for 'https://gitlab.com': No such device or address HEAD is now at df699ba Add new file"

[mkpathcreate]

Getting similar error for private repo

=== ERROR: Pull failed using GIT /usr/bin/git and DIR /var/www/xxxx ===
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address

[mkpathcreate]

Ok i got this working. The problem is the folder permission for your GIT folder, it needs to be www-data (or httpd/apache user, the PHP file is run by apache user, so the git folder should be your apache user.)

You need to have the public keys generated for www-data user (or apache/httpd user based on your server configuration).

Step 1: (ON YOUR SERVER)

#let's be root
sudo -i

##go the apache folder
cd /var/www

##create folder to store keys
mkdir .ssh
chown -R www-data:www-data .ssh
##create keys
sudo -u www-data ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
#click yes, yes in case you dont need a passphrase

##Start the ssh-agent in the background.
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
##add Key
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

##Copy the generated Pub key to be pasted on github.com
tail /var/www/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

#Attempts to ssh to GitHub
sudo -u www-data ssh -T [email protected]

Step 2:

Copy/Add the key displayed above in tail command to your github account or repo, Repo->Settings->Deploy Keys.

#type "yes"

Step 3: (OPTIONAL, in case you had used HTTPS like me, you need to change it to ssh git)

Cd to your git folder for e.g /var/www/my-project folder
nano .git/config

Change

url = https://github.com/username/reponame

to

url = [email protected]:username/reponame.git

=== ERROR: Pull failed using GIT /usr/bin/git and DIR /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/ ===

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
