When I try to interact with my remote repositories from within SmartGit, I get the error:

my.remote.url: Permission denied (publickey).

Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.


The command I see in the log is:

git -c credential.helper= -c "credential.helper=/home/myuser/tools/smartgit/bin/smartgit.sh --credential=somenumber" fetch --progress --prune --recurse-submodules=no origin

The exact same command works from the terminal though. With other git clients and the command line, I have no issue. For SSH authentication I rely on the SSH agent. I am using SmartGit from Linux.

Hi Sebastian,

Please contact smar...@syntevo.com and describe each step you did (AKA we need to do to make it reproducible). Thanks in advance.
