How to Troubleshoot Git Server Connection?
The reason why you can't connect to the Git server could be the following:
- Incorrect host;
- Incorrect private SSH key;
To ensure that you specified the correct host, verify that your host is one of these:
- GitHub - github.com;
- Bitbucket - bitbucket.org;
- Gerrit - your Gerrit endpoint;
- Gitlab - your GitLab endpoint.
The private key generated using the command must be added to the platform in the format:
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
--------key-data--------
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
The passphrase does not need to be specified.
