sheldon lock --update fails if github is configured to use ssh
My plugin setup is as follow:
shell = "zsh"
apply = ["defer"]
[templates]
defer = { value = 'zsh-defer source "{{ file }}"', each = true }
[plugins]
[plugins.zsh-defer]
github = "romkatv/zsh-defer"
apply = ["source"]
[plugins.zsh-syntax-highlighting]
github = "zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting"
use = ["{{ name }}.zsh"]
When I run sheldon lock --update, the process ends after a long time with the following error:
error: failed to install source `https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-defer`
due to: failed to git fetch
due to: Failed to retrieve list of SSH authentication methods: Failed getting response; class=Ssh (23); code=Auth (-16)
error: failed to install source `https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting`
due to: failed to git fetch
due to: Failed to retrieve list of SSH authentication methods: Failed getting response; class=Ssh (23); code=Auth (-16)
This seems to be caused by the fact that in my git configuration, I always use ssh to access git repos:
[url "[email protected]:"]
insteadOf = https://github.com
If I remove the mapping above, then the command succeed.
@lburgazzoli are you using an ssh-agent? Currently sheldon only supports authentication over ssh when there is an ssh-agent present. As far as I understand SSH with github always requires authentication even just to clone a public repository.
Yes I have the ssh-agent running (on OSX)
➜ ps -ef | grep ssh-agent
501 1944 1 0 Tue06PM ?? 0:03.39 /usr/bin/ssh-agent -l
My ssh config is like:
Host github.com
HostName ssh.github.com
Port 443
User lburgazzoli
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github
Just saw this - you need the ssh agent env vars on any shell that you run, so it makes sense to eval $(ssh-agent) before sheldon, other wise it won't be able to find the agent.
Also on macOS I do this:
Host github.com
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519```
