I asked for help on stackoverflow and I was told it is more than likely a Ubuntu problem and was recommended to ask here.

I'm trying to clone a private git repo to my web folder on Ubuntu. I've created the SSH key pair & added it to my account settings on githubs end.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519



Identity added: /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_ed25519  (email)




ssh -vT git@github.com




Hi CNRP! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not

I've tried the following and all respond with similar errors.

git clone git@github.com:CNRP/project-name.git



fatal: could not create work tree dir 'project-name': Permission

sudo git clone git@github.com:CNRP/project-name.git

git clone https://-token-@github.com/CNRP/project-name.git

The folder I'm trying to clone to is the /var/www/ web folder. I'm thinking its possibly something todo with user permissions? I've troubleshooted all the github authentication steps and repeated it multiple times so I'm thinking the SSH authentication isn't the problem.

Any help on what I can do from here to work this out is highly appreciated, Its left me stumped!
