git fork -- Permission Denied Public Key

[sunnyrjuneja]

I'm having a problem with using any gh command that interacts directly with my github account. For example, if I was to clone this repository using gh clone jingweno/gh and then entered the directory and then tried gh fork, it would print the following stack trace. Oddly enough, a fork appears in my list of repositories and a remote is added but I can't push to it.

@whatasunnyday I've no problem using gh in this workflow:

What version of gh are you using?

[sunnyrjuneja]

git version 1.8.4
gh version 2.0.0

@whatasunnyday Looks like the version is good. I'm using 2.0.0 locally too. What's your output of git remote -v. It's possible git clone jingweno/gh generates a private repo url.

[sunnyrjuneja]

hey @jingweno,

gh clone jingweno/gh && cd gh
gh fork

This should be fixe din the latest hub 2.2.0 release: https://github.com/github/hub/releases/tag/v2.2.0-rc1. Please give it a shot. Note that moving forward gh will be merged with hub and known as GitHub CLI. I'll provide a migration path from gh to hub in the near future. Please reopen if the problem still exists in hub
