Ok i got this working. The problem is the folder permission for your GIT folder, it needs to be www-data (or httpd/apache user, the PHP file is run by apache user, so the git folder should be your apache user.)

You need to have the public keys generated for www-data user (or apache/httpd user based on your server configuration).

Step 1: (ON YOUR SERVER)

#let's be root sudo -i

##go the apache folder cd /var/www

##create folder to store keys mkdir .ssh chown -R www-data:www-data .ssh ##create keys sudo -u www-data ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]" #click yes, yes in case you dont need a passphrase

##Start the ssh-agent in the background. eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" ##add Key ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

##Copy the generated Pub key to be pasted on github.com tail /var/www/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

#Attempts to ssh to GitHub sudo -u www-data ssh -T [email protected]

Step 2:

Copy/Add the key displayed above in tail command to your github account or repo, Repo->Settings->Deploy Keys.

#type "yes"

Step 3: (OPTIONAL, in case you had used HTTPS like me, you need to change it to ssh git)

Cd to your git folder for e.g /var/www/my-project folder nano .git/config

Change

url = https://github.com/username/reponame

to

url = [email protected]:username/reponame.git

Hi, I follow the steps above, but still get error as below: can anyone help out~

=== ERROR: Pull failed using GIT /usr/bin/git and DIR /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/ === Could not create directory '/usr/sbin/.ssh'. Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
