    hi, author.
    I get a error when I try to push or pull.

    error messages:
    “Host key verification failed.
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly”

    It seems that Revisr will generate a .ssh directory when I first click push and pull. But when I see that directory it is empty. So I generate a ssh key by “sudo -u apache ssh-keygen -t rsa”.And add the pub key to my Bitbucket account. Change directory and files owner to apache. But the error still turn out.
    You seem to be active in this support.So please check this out quickly.
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    There can be issues with certain configurations if the user running the site is apache/www and that user doesn’t have a shell enabled. If this is the case, it’s better to set up a dedicated user to run revisr.

    See:
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7306990/generating-ssh-keys-for-apache-user

    If that’s not possible, you’re also able to connect to a remote repo using HTTPS, as shown here:

    Hi,

    After looking into your suggestion, I use HTTPS to connect the remote repo and it works.

    It seems like the apache user really does not have the right to have a shell enabled. So I change the user and group to run httpd. And It works too.

    Thanks a lot!

    I struggled with the same problem (trying to login to my git remote with the Apache user using a ssh key file).
    I finally got it working without needig to provide a HTTPS clone URL:

    1. Create a ssh key for your Apache user (on a Mac the Apache user is called _www, on other systems the user name might be e.g. apache), e.g.:
    sudo -u _www ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

    2. Add the public ssh key to your remote server.

    2. Sign in as the Apache user:
    sudo -s -u _www

    3. ssh connect to the remote server (ssh remoteuser@remoteserver) and accept the fingerprint of the remote server.

    If you can login to the remote server using your ssh key file (without providing a password manually) pushing and pulling should work from Revisr as well. ??
