Trying to push to BitBucket but I get "master conq: repository access denied." "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"

Question

I'm doing like this to push changes my bitbucket repository:

$: git push origin 
master conq: repository access denied. 
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

What does this error mean and how do I fix it?

You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.

This deploy key has read access to the following repositories:

myserver/scripts: root@myserver.stuff.com -- root@myserver.stuff.com
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype eow@openssh.com reply 0

Bytes per second: sent 58903.0, received 73194.2

It's some problem that has to do with the authenticated user agent_smith above.

I got this exact error. It's a problem with how ssh assumes the credentials based on incomplete information. When a user is modified out from underneath it, ssh negotiates the old invalid credentials with bitbucket servers. To fix: You have to generate new ssh keys with ssh-keygen and then replace the contents of your `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`. Then you have to go into bitbucket, and delete the old key, and re-upload the new ssh key you just created. — Eric Leschinski, Feb 26 '15 at 18:30

In term of ssh access (like an ssh BitBucket repo address similar to ssh://git@bitbucket.org/accountname/reponame.git, double-check:

the help page "Using the SSH protocol with bitbucket" and "troubleshooting SSH Issues for bitbucket"
the case used in your address (case-sensitive)
the nature of your ssh key (is it password protected? Did you then nadd it to the ssh-agent?)
the number of your ssh keys (if you have several keys, you need to declare them in a ~/.ssh/config file, or you can follow this answer)

Note: on Windows, then environment variable HOME isn't defined by default. Make sure it is.

I have multiple bitbucket accounts and my corporate ssh_keys are store in a separate file. By explicitly referencing these keys in ~/.ssh/config resolved my issues – Troy Watt Jul 08 '13 at 20:48

Check that you have write permission on repo.

AND from https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Set+up+SSH+for+Git#SetupSSHforGit-Step4Createaconfigfile:

Step 4. Create a SSH config file

Using your favorite text editor, edit an existing (or create a new)
~/.ssh/config file.

Add an entry to the configuration file using the following format:

Host bitbucket.org
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/privatekeyfile

The second line is indented. That indentation (a single space) is important, 
so make sure you include it.  The second line is the
location of your private key file.  If you are following along with
these instructions, your file is here:

 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

When you are done editing, your configuration looks similar to the following:

Host bitbucket.org
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Save and close the file.
Restart the GitBash terminal.

This git error:

$: git pull
master conq: repository access denied. 
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Remedied by:

Blow away the public and private ssh keys in your ~/.ssh directory
Create new ssh keys.
Log in to bitbucket for your repository.
Delete the old ssh key from bitbucket.
Add your new ssh key to bitbucket.
Try it again, then ssh negotiates with bitbucket with the correct user.

What caused this?

The credentials that ssh on the client machine was using to negotiate with bitbucket had changed in such a way as to cause bitbucket to think that this is an unauthorized user.

If you are using Mac OSX or Linux what worked for me is ensuring that ssh-agent is loaded and running with my keys.

$ ps -e | grep [s]sh-agent
9060 ??     0:00.28 /usr/bin/ssh-agent -l

checks to see if the agent is running. You should see something like the above results. If you do not see the above results, you can type

$ eval ssh-agent $SHELL

to start the ssh-agent by hand. Next you want to check to see if the keys are running. Type

$ ssh-add -l
2048 68:ef:d6:1e:4b:3b:a3:52:6f:b0:c3:4b:da:e8:d1:9f /c/Documents and Settings/manthony/.ssh/personalid (RSA)

and you should see the above results. If you don't you can type

$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/workid

where workid is the name of your private keyset you generated.
