steps to clone a private repository using Google Colab

Question

I want to clone a private repository in Google Colab,

I opened a notebook on colab and did the following:

%cd "content/drive/My Drive/project"
!rm -rf /root/.ssh*
!mkdir /root/.ssh
!ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "githubname@github.com"

then I opened the public key by

 !cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.put

I copied the public key that is displayed after I ran the command and made a new key in my GitHub using this key.

Then I tried the following:

!ssh-keyscan GitHub.com >> /root/.ssh/known_hosts
!chmod 644 /root/.ssh/known_hosts
!chmod 600 /root/ssh/id_rsa
!ssh -T github.com

then I get the following (permission denied)

# github.com:22 SSH-2.0-babeld-d45c1532
# github.com:22 SSH-2.0-babeld-d45c1532
# github.com:22 SSH-2.0-babeld-d45c1532
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '140.82.113.3' to the list of known hosts.
root@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

What do I do next?

Answer 1

ssh -T github.com
root@github.com: Permission denied (publickey)

这是预期的：

• 正确的测试是：

  ssh -T git@github.com
  

• 与 GitHub 一起使用的正确 SSH URL 是：

  git@github.com:<me>/<myRepo>
  

您始终使用“ git”，而不是“ root”（或您当前的本地用户）作为连接到 GitHub 的远程用户。

您的本地帐户仍为“ root”（它包含公共和私人 SSH 密钥）

但连接到 GitHub 就意味着使用远程帐户git。
