GIT repo connection failed in cPanel

Question

I am having issue connecting git repo to cpanel. I have added SSH keys to cPanel from git correctly. Sometime repo are connecting and sometime i am getting following issue Error: “/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git” reported error code “128” when it ended: fatal: could not read Password for 'https://[email protected]': No such device or address

Thank you in advance

Note: I was not able to to clone repo from codeberg.org, but I was able from gitlab.com. So, looks like codeberg is blocking ssh access, or something. – Miley

Answer 1

I have added SSH keys to cPanel

Then you should use an SSH URL (git@server:user/repo), not an HTTPS one (which starts with https://...)

See "Guide to Git - Set Up Access to Private Repositories" from the CPanel Knowledge Base.

git clone [email protected]:MyStuff/private-repository.git

You can see here a typical BitBucket SSH URL:

[email protected]:<account_name>/<repo_name>.git
# or
ssh://[email protected]/<account_name>/<repo_name>.git

Note: the username for a BitBucket repo is always git.

i got another error reported error code “128” when it ended: fatal: unable to look up [email protected] (port 9418) (Name or service not known) – Phipps

@Phipps port 9418 is the default port of the git protocol, for URL starting with git://. Make sure to use an actual SSH URL. – Subsequence

The documentation from cpanel you mentioned is deprecated. The new documentation is: Guide to Git™ - Set Up Access to Private Repositories – Iqbal

@Iqbal Thank you for this feedback. I have updated the URL and edited the answer accordingly. – Subsequence

Answer 2

Also confirm that the repository is public, i just had this issue and figured my repository was private so it couldn't be found

why is that a problem? SSH keys have access to private repos – Fork

Answer 3

Try the following:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C "[email protected]"
