Hello,

I successfully uploaded changes to the repository:
https://github.com/bolprocessor/bolprocessor/tree/graphics-for-BP3

I am the admin of two more repositories:
https://github.com/bolprocessor/php-frontend
https://github.com/bolprocessor/bp3-ctests/

However, I failed uploading changes to these ones. I am using the same ssh key and the same paraphrase. I am getting error messages in the style:

git push
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/myname/.ssh/id_rsa':
ERROR: Permission to bolprocessor/php-frontend.git denied to deploy key
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Check SSH Key Configuration , duble ckeck the key and the permissions for "php-frontend" and "bp3-ctests". Verify that you're entering the correct passphrase for your SSH key when prompted. If you're unsure, you might consider regenerating the SSH key pair

[belbernard]

Thanks for the suggestions! I will try regenerating the SSH key pair. However, it is strange that the same key and paraphrase work for the first repository. Does it mean that I need to create a new key for each repository?

[AElnamaki]

As you know you can use the same SSH key pair for multiple repositories. However, there are different methods for managing access to repositories, and sometimes the setup may require different configurations

[belbernard]

This is strange because I am the owner of the 3 repositories and the SSH key + paraphrase worked perfectly for all of them. Now the error "Permission to bolprocessor/php-frontend.git denied to deploy key" suggests that I should do something on GitHub's end to validate the key for this particular repository.

The .git/config file of "php-frontend" (which doesn't work) is:

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true
[remote "destination"]
url = git@github.com:bolprocessor/php-frontend
fetch = +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/destination/
[branch "master"]
remote = destination
merge = refs/heads/master

The .git/config file of "graphics-for-BP3" (which works) is:

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true
[remote "destination"]
url = git@github.com:bolprocessor/bolprocessor
fetch = +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/destination/
[branch "master"]
remote = destination
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "BP3-develop"]
remote = destination
merge = refs/heads/BP3-develop
[branch "graphics-for-BP3"]
remote = destination
merge = refs/heads/graphics-for-BP3
[pull]
rebase = false
rebase = false

I tried this (https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/testing-your-ssh-connection):

belbernard@macbookobernard bolprocessor_php % ssh -T git@github.com
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/belbernard/.ssh/id_rsa':
Hi bolprocessor/bolprocessor! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

The manual says: "Verify that the resulting message contains your username." But my username is "belbernard", not "bolprocessor/bolprocessor".

The problem is solved by "adding a SSH key" and entering the public key into the settings. Thanks for your support!
