Severity 1 - Critical
Sourcetree generates or adds to a config file in the users .ssh directory. The default text is something like (don't remember the exact Host)
--- Sourcetree Generated --- Host account-name@github.com HostName github.com User username PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile /Users/matt/.ssh/keyname UseKeychain yes AddKeysToAgent yes # ----------------------------
However, GitHub requires that you use SSH with git as the user. So the above config tells Sourcetree to use your GitHub username which results in permission denied. Changing the ~/.ssh/config file to the below code allowed me to clone my repositories from GitHub. I'm not sure if changing the Host to github.com is required as well, but it works so I'm not messing with it!
--- Sourcetree Generated --- Host github.com HostName github.com User git PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile /Users/matt/.ssh/keyname UseKeychain yes AddKeysToAgent yes # ----------------------------
