git with IntelliJ IDEA: Could not read from remote repository
Since a few weeks, I'm not able to pull or push from or to the remote repository. I thought it happend when upgrading to IntelliJ IDEA 14, but I can reproduce the problem with IDEA 13.1.5 as well.
The tooltip says "Fetch failed fatal: Could not read from remote repository."
and the exception in the Version Control tab reads
14:02:37.737: cd C:devproject
14:02:37.737: git -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin --progress --prune
java.io.IOException: Padding in RSA public key!

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Using the built-in terminal of IntelliJ, executing git -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin --progress --prune
, it works just as it should.
According to the stacktrace, there seems to be a problem with my KnownHosts
, so I deleted our git server from ~/.ssh/known_hosts
, hoping IntelliJ would insert it again. But the problem still appears when updating via the UI, and there is no new entry written in known_hosts
; thinking about some caching of the file, I restarted IntelliJ, without success.
When doing another git fetch
from the terminal, now I'm getting asked if I want to permanently add the server. After that, it has been written to known_hosts
again, but IntelliJ still won't let me update my project.
I haven't found anything about this behavior online, so I guess it's not a known bug with the new IntelliJ version. Nevertheless, I updated to 14.0.2, but the problem still exists.
IntelliJ is configured to use the built-in SSH executable.
Does anybody have a clue what could be the problem here?
settings-->Version Control-->Git
,and then, In the SSH executable dropdown, choose Native
If this doesn't help, ensure that your native ssh
and git
clients are a sufficiently recent version.
Go to Preferences > Version Control > Git. Make sure SSH executable is set to “Native.” (If it's already so, switch it to “Built-in,” apply it, and then again switch back to “Native.”).
If this doesn't solve your issue, I would suggest to download a Git client such as GitHub client (free desktop app) and try to sync your project through the app. Then go back to IntelliJ and check if it works.
I started getting Could not read from remote repository
error recently when working with my github repository. My specs:
Of course those problems occurred only when trying to push/pull/fetch etc. from IDE - executing same commands from command line worked like a charm.
Solution that worked for me
I didn't want to switch from Built-In
SSH executable to Native
, mostly because my native SSH client asks me for the password anytime I try to sync with remote repository.
I solved this problem by switching from SSH remote URL to HTTPS URL. According to this GitHub help page - it is recommended to use HTTPS URL instead of SSH one.
Changing remote URL from SSH
to HTTPS
In IntelliJ IDEA go to VCS -> Git -> Remotes..., select row containing "origin" and click on edit button. If you host your repository on GitHub, replace your SSH URL from:
git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
to:
https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
You can also get your HTTPS URL from your GitHub repository home page - click on "Clone or download" button and click on "Use HTTPS" link to display your repository's HTTPS URL:
UPDATE 2018-03-13
JetBrains just released IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3.5 that includes fix for SSH access to GitHub - https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2018/03/intellij-idea-2017-3-5-fix-for-ssh-access-to-github/
