Getting npm error while deploying my web3 project in Heroku [duplicate]
As I answered previously in Cloning git repo causes error - Host key verification failed. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly, add GitHub to the list of known hosts:
ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
You are connecting via the SSH protocol, as indicated by the ssh://
prefix on your clone URL. Using SSH, every host has a key. Clients remember the host key associated with a particular address and refuse to connect if a host key appears to change. This prevents man in the middle attacks.
The host key for domain.com has changed. If this does not seem fishy to you, remove the old key from your local cache by editing ${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts
to remove the line for domain.com or letting an SSH utility do it for you with
ssh-keygen -R domain.com
From here, record the updated key either by doing it yourself with
ssh-keyscan -t rsa domain.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
or, equivalently, let ssh
do it for you next time you connect with git fetch
, git pull
, or git push
(or even a plain ol’ ssh domain.com
) by answering yes when prompted
The authenticity of host 'domain.com (a.b.c.d)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is XX:XX:...:XX. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
The reason for this prompt is domain.com is no longer in your known_hosts
after deleting it and presumably not in the system’s /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
, so ssh
has no way to know whether the host on the other end of the connection is really domain.com. (If the wrong key is in /etc
, someone with administrative privileges will have to update the system-wide file.)
I strongly encourage you to consider having users authenticate with keys as well. That way, ssh-agent
can store key material for convenience (rather than everyone having to enter her password for each connection to the server), and passwords do not go over the network.
