What should I do if the gitee public key cannot be found?

In software development, we often need to use version control tools to manage code. Git is one of the most popular version control systems. Gitee is a domestic Git code hosting platform, similar to Github. However, sometimes we encounter some problems when using Gitee, such as the problem that the public key cannot be found, which is also a relatively common problem.

When using Git for version control on Gitee, we need to perform permission verification through Git. In order for Git to communicate with Gitee, we need to generate an RSA public key locally and add the public key to the Gitee account. However, sometimes we find that when adding a public key on Gitee, the local public key cannot be found. So, how to solve this problem?

First, we need to check whether the public key has been generated. You can check whether the public key is generated locally by entering the following command in Git Bash:

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If this command outputs a long string of characters, it means that you have generated the public key locally. If there is no output, you have not generated a public key. If the public key is not generated, you can enter the following command to generate it:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"

This command will generate a pair of SSH keys in the default directory, including the private key and the public key. After generating, you need to add the public key to your Gitee account.

If you have generated the public key but still cannot find it on Gitee, it may be because the public key is not correctly specified in the local SSH configuration file. You can view the SSH configuration file through the following command:

$ cat ~/.ssh/config

If your SSH configuration file does not have the following content:

Host *
    IdentitiesOnly yes

Then, please add this configuration information to the SSH configuration file and save it .

In addition, sometimes when we use Git, we may be prompted to enter a password. If Git Credential Manager (GCM) is installed on your computer, this problem will cause Gitee to be unable to correctly find your public key. The solution to this problem is simple, just uninstall GCM. GCM can be uninstalled through the control panel.

To summarize, if you encounter the problem that the Gitee public key cannot be found, you can solve it through the following steps:

1. Check whether the public key has been generated locally;
2. If the public key is not generated, you need to generate a pair of public keys through the command line;
3. Add the public key to the Gitee account;
4. Check whether the local SSH configuration file is correct Configuration;
5. If Git Credential Manager is installed, uninstall it.

I hope this article can help you successfully solve the problem of Gitee public key not being found, and make your use of Git for version control smoother.
