SSH key generated in 1Password not working when running Git commands in IDE: Permission Denied (public key)

Problem

Pushing via Git > Push.. operation fails with the following error:

identity_sign: private key <path_to_private_ssh_key> contents do not match public git@gitee.com: Permission denied (publickey). Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Cause

SSH keypair generated from 1Password doesn't work with the Git integration in the IDE.

Resolution

Generate SSH keypair (private/public) in Git Bash instead:

• ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
• press Enter to accept the default location
• press Enter twice to not use a passphrase (or use one if required)
• Copy the contents of the public key to your remote repository
