Gitolite - Can a key file have and @ sign in it

Question

I have a few public key files in my keydir/ some are named like this [email protected]

In my config file I specify the user as user@host, but when I try and push the changes, I get this warning

remote: 
remote:         ***** WARNING *****
remote:         the following users (pubkey files in parens) do not appear in the config file:
remote: user([email protected])

Anyone know why this is the case?

Answer 1

According to my understanding, probably not. Since the '@' needs to be escaped.

I usually generate my keys using the following:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C userName -f userName

...so that I don't run into this issue.
