How to remove offending key in git when you try to push your changes?
It says:
Offending key for IP in /home/alireza/.ssh/known_hosts:10
So for some reason you have to delete 10-th line in known_hosts.
Run this command to delete 10-th line in known_hosts:
sed -i '10d' ~/.ssh/known_hosts
Or use ssh-keygen
ssh-keygen -R git.mywebsite.ir
Quote from man
-R hostname Removes all keys belonging to hostname from a known_hosts file. This option is useful to delete hashed hosts (see the -H option above).
When I got the messages:
Offending key for IP in /home/myusername/.ssh/known_hosts:12
Notice the line number - in my case - 12
So open 'known_hosts' file and delete the 12-th row.
For me this solved the problem.
P.s. Notice if you cannot find the .ssh folder - the .ssh folder is hidden and in order to see it from the file manager - you have to "Show hidden files and folders". In Linux Mint (and possible in your distro too) when in the file manager - there is a shortcut to show/hide hidden folders -> Ctrl+H
