Of course. Repo doesn't know (or care) whether the remotes
you add are public or private.

You can get additional log output if you add the --trace option to
the repo command (i.e. "repo --trace sync"). What happens if you
run "git clone ssh://g...@github.com:myproject/someappe"?

I had some success using g...@github.com:myproject/ by setting .ssh/config :

Host github.com
User git
Port 22
Hostname github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
IdentitiesOnly yes

but it fails with the error :

When I look in
/home/benoitc/myproject/someapp/.repo/projects/someapp.git/config I
see:

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
[remote "myproject"]
url = g...@github.com:myproject/g...@github.com:myproject/someapp
projectname = someapp
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/myproject/*


The url is wrong. Seems like the remote uri have been put twice. Any idea ?

I don't remember to what extent Repo tries to munge the URL, but have
you tried using the canonical ssh://user@host:port/repo form instead of
the scp-like user@host:repo?

Using the canonical ssh url ssh:// worked. Thanks!

Related is there another way to pass the ssh key to repo ? Other than
setting it in ~/.ssh/config ?

Normally it should get picked up automatically by SSH. Perhaps you have
a system-wide setting (/etc/ssh_config etc) that disables public-key
authentication? I've never had to touch ~/.ssh/config for this reason.

Unless a plain "ssh user@host" works but the same operation in Repo
doesn't, this isn't a Repo problem but an issue with your SSH client.
