Struggling with ssh working locally, agent forwarding not working correctly after moving your ssh keys around?
Firstly make sure that your permissions are correct on your SSH keys
My config looks like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jsmale staff 356 18 Sep 17:39 config
-rw-------@ 1 jsmale staff 1675 12 Jul 00:54 id_rsa
-rw-------@ 1 jsmale staff 400 12 Jul 00:54 id_rsa.pub
If they are wrong:
chmod 600 id_rsa id_rsa.pub
chmod 644 config
Then make sure that your ssh key is added correctly:
ssh-add -l
My response:
› ssh-add -l
2048 25:89:39:cf:85:b6:43:81:f7:e3:47:d0:63:84:2b:7c /Users/jsmale/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
If it isn't, then:
ssh-add
