Permission denied: cannot read from remote repository

Problem Solution

The git user attempts to push a repo and sees an error message such as:

Permission denied (publickey, password) / fatal: could not read from remote repository.

The Git Connector might not be able to connect to the Helix Core server if:

  • the Helix Core server has changed from non-unicode mode to unicode mode
  • the Git Connector switches to a different Helix Core server that is using a different unicode mode
  1. Restart the Helix Core server.
  2. On the Git Connector, edit the $HOME/.p4enviro file so that no value is set for the P4CHARSET environment variable.
