Git authentication issue - "GitHub does not provide shell access."

507 Views Asked by At

I'm following this video https://egghead.io/lessons/javascript-identifying-how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github to setup my local machine and Github.

I have successfully added the ssh authentication key to my Github account, but when I check, the below will appear.

$ ssh -T [email protected]

Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/dilkh/.ssh/id_rsa':

Hi Dilkhan-1! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

I'm confused. I'm trying to link my local machine and github so they can communicate as said in the tutorial. I'm trying to setup my Git for Github contributions. When I tried the "ssh -T [email protected]" This says, "You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access." What could the problem be? Any help regarding this will be appreciated.

That's normal. The docs about testing ssh say you will get that response when it's successful.

You should be able to clone repos via SSH now.
