Cannot push with an ssh alias - failed to resolve address #496

mckellygit · 2021-01-20T01:03:22Z

Hi,

Thank you so much for gitui.
I cannot push from gitui, always getting the error -

[ERROR] push error: git error:failed to resolve address for github.com-foo: Name or service not known; class=Net (12)

But git push works fine from the cmdline.
I have in my .ssh/config the alias -

Host github.com-foo
HostName github.com

Is there a way around this ?

I am using version gitui v0.11.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

thx,
-m

mckellygit · 2021-04-09T01:08:59Z

@extrawurst Does git2-rs using libgit2 also bring in libssh ?

and-0-1 · 2021-06-13T03:41:30Z

Yeah - i am having the same issue

ViridiFox · 2021-08-31T15:35:01Z

I found a way around this error message by changing the host in my ssh config from github.com-foo to foo.github.com, but now it hangs up, repeating in the logs:

@ViridiCanis what does hangup mean exactly?

ViridiFox · 2021-08-31T16:00:19Z

I used pull instead of push compared to OP, and it says "Pull" "preparing". the loading symbol top left next to status keeps moving, but nothing else happens

hm I never had these issues. so I depend on you to help me on this. I pushed to a branch debug-496-fetch and if you build from this and run with logging could you provide me with the full log? feel free to send it to me via email if you don't want to paste it here or on gist.

ViridiFox · 2021-08-31T16:36:05Z

ViridiFox · 2021-09-05T08:37:49Z

I changed my setup to use keychain in my shell's startup script, and gitui works normally. Still don't know how to fix it with only using ssh-agent.

mckellygit · 2021-09-11T20:24:06Z

Hi,

hm I never had these issues. so I depend on you to help me on this.

Do you have a .ssh/config with a Host entry that is not a real hostname ?
I have an arbitrary label for Host that will never resolve to a network address.
git tools use the Hostname entry for this label. I get a feeling this indirection is not happening here ??
Just guessing at that though.
thx,
-m

realtica · 2021-09-14T01:10:49Z

Same Issue here, gitui 0.16.2

wennaspeedy · 2021-10-21T07:32:54Z

Same here 0.18.0

dr-kristau · 2021-12-22T13:14:06Z

Same here 0.19.0

extrawurst · 2022-01-22T16:26:55Z

@mckellygit I can't find anything conclusive here but it seems libssh2 is not reading the config and applying these aliases

@ViridiCanis Hey, could you please provide more info on how to do that?

ViridiFox · 2022-02-17T17:25:58Z

@Phl3gmaTREEc sorry, it's been a while since I used it and I can't get it to work again. It should just be installing keychain and adding keychain -q --eval [list of keys] | eval to your shell's startup script.
But currently I'm getting problems with gitui (git cli works), where with my normal key without alias, there is an auth sock problem (also affects ssh-add) and with my other one with alias it is the same as original issue.

mckellygit · 2022-02-18T13:15:17Z

@extrawurst I agree. Maybe see -
libgit2/libgit2#4338
Could maybe one day libssh be used instead ?
I will try to look around. thx.

AFAIK it's still relevant

Still relevant. What's the status of implementation if the libgit2 library integrates OpenSSH support?
