working with 'Permission denied' for GitHub Actions accessing private repository despite correct SSH setup
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm trying to set up a GitHub Actions workflow to run tests on a private repository, but I'm getting a `Permission denied (publickey)` behavior when it attempts to access the repository. Here’s my workflow configuration: ```yaml name: CI on: push: branches: - main jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout code uses: actions/checkout@v2 with: ssh-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }} - name: Run tests run: npm test ``` I’ve ensured that the `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` secret is correctly set in the repository settings, and I've generated the SSH key pair using `ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"`. The public key is added to the repository's deploy keys and has write access. However, when the workflow runs, it fails at the checkout step with the behavior: ``` fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ``` To troubleshoot, I verified that the SSH key is working locally by cloning the repository using the SSH URL. It works without any issues. I’ve also double-checked the permissions of the SSH key file, ensuring it's set to `600`. I'm not sure if there’s an additional configuration in GitHub Actions that I might have missed or if there's a question with how the SSH key is being utilized in the workflow. Any insights on this would be appreciated! I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. What am I doing wrong? My team is using Yaml for this mobile app. How would you solve this? I'm on Windows 11 using the latest version of Yaml. Thanks for any help you can provide!
