ssh-agent does nothing

ssh-agent does nothing

[Jérémy Korwin-Zmijowski]

Dear Guixters,

I am having trouble to git clone/pull/push from/to repositories relying
on ssh authentication (i.e. git clone git@framagit.org:Jeko/dummy-
project-name.git).

I tried to follow few instructions found on the mailing list but I get
stuck when I see in my terminal `ssh-agent` returning nothing.

(Guix OS + Gnome DE)

Thank you for your help. Take care,

Jérémy

This is how you set up ssh-agent; add this line to your ``bash_profile'':

  eval $(ssh-agent) >/dev/null

and relogin.

Hi (,

Thank you for your help ! I tried your suggestion but did not solve my
problem.

   $ LANG=EN git pull
   fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
   
   Please make sure you have the correct access rights
   and the repository exists.

From what I read online, `ssh-agent` should return two lines. But in my
case, nothing is returned. So I guess there is something wrong here…

Hey,

I got the help from nckx on IRC and they found out the ssh-agent binary
was 0 octet.
I blame my poor battery management (occusional brutal shutdowns).

Now running guix `gc --verify=repair,contents` and crossing fingers.

Cheers !
