Error with bin/setup_practicing_git: Permission denied (publickey).

[benmarwick]

Could @paulproteus or @shaunagm please have a look at my output below and give me some tips about how to workaround the Permission denied (publickey). error? This is from the third try of that script. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04. Thanks!

Testing that your credentials work...
Good.

What is the event shortname? This is the name used on the web, e.g. for columbia.openhatch.org, type columbia here. >uw
How many git repositories do you want? I recommend no fewer than 3. Up to you, though. >5
What git repo do you want to clone, issues and all? Press enter to accept the default, which is openhatch/github-website-editing-demo, or provide your own. >
Now is a good time to go create 5 Github organizations, starting with 'uw-'.
Press enter when you have done that...
Great! Now I will go copy GitHub issues from the openhatch organization and its github-website-editing-demo repo.
First, I will download them...

I'm getting a different error. My guess is that this is simply due to my not having write access to the uw repos, because @benmarwick made them, but will leave the output here in case I'm misinterpreting it. So: Ben, can you give me permissions? Alternatively, Asheesh can try to debug the error Ben's getting.

And then, I will copy them...

[benmarwick]

Thanks for looking into this! I think I've made you (@shaunagm) an owner of all ten uw-x repos now.

[shaunagm]

Still getting the error, so I'm not sure what's going wrong. :/

[benmarwick]

Righto, perhaps @paulproteus can shed some light on it... I tried changing one of the org names to washington-1, but that made no difference.

[benmarwick]

Seems that I have the issues in each repo, but no files to edit

[benmarwick]

I wrote a bit of shell script to copy this repo into my uw-n repos, which this python code seems to fail at, so I'm good to go for the UW workshop. I have ten repos that show the website to edit, and the issues for students to work on.

[shaunagm]

Great!

Can you put the text of the shell script here, in case anyone else runs into this issue before we have a chance to fix the Python code?

[benmarwick]

I think it was something like this that I did to populate the repos with files:

#!/bin/bash

git clone --mirror https://github.com/openhatch/github-website-editing-demo.git
# Make a bare mirrored clone of the repository

cd github-website-editing-demo.git
# go into dir

# loop over our uw-n repos, where n=10 in this case
for i in {1..10}
do

git remote set-url --push origin https://github.com/uw-$i/uw-$i.github.io.git
# connect to remote to copy it to

git push
# copy it out to that remote

done

[paulproteus]

Weird. I'm going to try using the script and seeing if I get any problems.

[paulproteus]

Hey all,

For @benmarwick -- you need to set up an SSH key on your computer. The script doesn't say so, but I now believe that's the reason it failed.

For @shaunagm -- from chatting on IRC, it seems that you needed to generate a GitHub API key with more permissions.

Cheerio!

[benmarwick]

Righto, thanks for looking into it. Hope that helps the next person to use it!
