This error happens because the ssh connection to [email protected] failed, and that is due to "Permission denied (publickey)". For a person that has a github account he/she must have already setup the appropriate public/private key pair for accessing his/her github repositories using the ssh protocol via [email protected], which has a side effect of giving read-only accesses to all other public repositories on github via [email protected]. A workaround for this issue (that is when one does not have the public/private key setup for accessing git repositories via the ssh protocol) is to tell git to always use the https:// protocol instead of ssh when accessing any [email protected]: repositories. This can be done like so: git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf "[email protected]:" HTH, nazri. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
