git push asking for a password
Hi,
I'm working with git for the first time and when I started it I just had to commit/push/pull on an existing repository.
Now I should create a new repo, but this fails when I try to git push origin master:refs/heads/master because it is asking for a password, which should not happen since ssh-keys are in use, right?
my setup:
I have an existing repo called drums, this works fine! Now I tried to create a new one called guitars with this how to
http://scie.nti.st/2007/11/14/hosting-git-repositories-the-easy-and-secure-way
so my gitosis.conf is like this:
[gitosis]
[group gitosis-admin]
writable = gitosis-admin
members = brennsuppa
[group drums]
writable = drums
members = brennsuppa dan
[group guitars]
writable = guitars
members = brennsuppa dan eug
my key should be working, otherwise I cannot explain why it works with drums, any help?

<Snip secition some repos working and some not>
The password prompts come from SSH, not git. And there only user and host specified in URL matter.
BTW: 'git push origin master:refs/heads/master' can be shortened as 'git push origin master' if 'master' is a branch (it usually is). This isn't the problem however.
Few possible problems:
- The URL points to wrong host or host alias
- The username in URL is wrong
- You are trying access from different computer/user that doesn't have valid keys for that system.
