Using VS Code built in Git

When you get this error message:

Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Possible reason is that ~/.ssh/known_hosts file is empty or doesn't contain your repository host's fingerprint.

Solution

Open built in VS Code terminal

Make sure you are in your project root folder (where .git directory is)

$ git pull

You should have a prompt to which you answer: yes
