If you get an error
\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository
\nPlease make sure that you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.<\/p>\n

But you can ssh to the repository through the ssh client, but your GitBash is not letting you to push the commit to the remote server.<\/p>\n

Issue the command<\/p>\n

$ssh -p port_number username@servername\r\n<\/pre>\n
if you get the bad file number, remote server cannot be found, then you need to set the http_proxy variable.<\/p>\n
The important thing it should be config file in the .ssh folder of the git home directory as follows<\/p>\n
\r\n~\/.ssh\/config\r\n<\/pre>\n
open git bash. issue<\/p>\n
\r\ncd ~\r\n<\/pre>\n
this will take you the home directory. the preferred home directory in the windows7 is <\/p>\n
\r\nc:\\users\\username\\Documents\r\n<\/pre>\n
if it is not that, then set the environment variable $HOME as the above.
\nNow go into .ssh folder as follows<\/p>\n
\r\ncd .ssh\r\n<\/pre>\n
inside that folder make sure you create a file name config and the first line in that file should look like this<\/p>\n
\r\nProxyCommand \/bin\/connect -H proxy_server:port %h %p\r\n<\/pre>\n
substitute the correct proxy server name and the correct port number. Save that file and then restart the git bash.<\/p>\n
That means there is this environment variable GIT_SSH is set to plink.exe, just delete that variable and restart the gitbash all your problems will be solved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
