I have a remote server. I can already ssh successfully onto that remote server - my key is in authorized_keys
on the remote server.
Now I want to pull from GitHub directly onto that remote server. But I'm getting permission denied (publickey)
when I try ssh -T git@github.com
on the remote server.
Should I copy id_rsa.pub
directly from my local machine onto the remote server, or is that dangerous?
If this is the answer, what's the best way to do it?
Or should I generate a new public key on the remote server, and add that to my github acocount?
UPDATE:
Here's the output from a verbose ssh:

I've just tried setting up ssh agent forwarding, using my server's IP address: https://developer.github.com/guides/using-ssh-agent-forwarding/ But I'm still getting

on the remote machine.1there's a verbose option on the ssh command, I think that might tell you which key files it's actually trying, it has helped me a few times. – Allman – 2015-04-22T11:04:05.437
