Distinct SSH keys don't work

[JoshuaSmeda]

When creating repo specific keys in GitHub, and trying to specify them in the config file similar to the r10k structure - it doesn't work.

Example:

source:
  example:
    remote: "git@github.com:example/example-repo"
    git:
      provider: 'rugged'
      private_key: '~/example/ssh_private_key'

I tried playing around with it with no success. Is there is a easy way to implement the above?

Can you provide your g10k command with the -debug parameter?

I could be simply that g10k does not resolve your home path ~, try using the absolute path.

[JoshuaSmeda]

Sure,

If I go and add that key to my ssh authentication agent, it will connect just fine and work.

Ah, I forgot:
I explicitly removed all authentication from github.com Puppet modules/git repositories:
https://github.com/xorpaul/g10k/blob/v0.8.10/git.go#L98-L99

You're the first one that uses private github.com repositories with g10k, congratulations! ;)

r10k does work with private github.com repositories just by addin the SSH key to the r10k config?

[JoshuaSmeda]

Ah, thanks @xorpaul :-)

My understanding that g10k is basically a fork of r10k and they "share" similar code functions. So why doesn't it work, like I specified in my example above? (I copied that syntax from the r10k documentation you linked in your readme).

[xorpaul]

Yes, I'm trying to keep the feature set equal between r10k and g10k, but it will never be 100%

So I was right, that your source github.com repository is a private one?

I'll try to add the ssh key then for the source github.com repository as I would for non github.com Puppet modules in the Puppetfile.

[JoshuaSmeda]

So I was right, that your source github.com repository is a private one? - Yes sir, it's private.

Thanks!

[xorpaul]

Please try out if the new version works for you as well:

https://github.com/xorpaul/g10k/releases/tag/v0.8.11

I've managed to checkout my private test Github control repository with this.

[JoshuaSmeda]

Thanks @xorpaul.

I will try this and revert back!
