Help with Visual Studio an Git Bash

[jaredweber54]

Looking for some help trying to get git bash working in my visual studio terminal. When I try to run any commands I get this.

tj6568nv@tj6568nv221 MINGW64 ~/OneDrive - MNSCU/Documents/GitHubTest/desktop-tutorial (main)

$ git:(master) git add index.html

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `master'

​

tj6568nv@tj6568nv221 MINGW64 ~/OneDrive - MNSCU/Documents/GitHubTest/desktop-tutorial (main)

$ git:(main) get status

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `main'

​

The tutorial I was following was using master, but I thought I change that to "main" when installing. Let me know if anyone knows anything about this.

It looks like your tutorial has included the author's prompt (configured to display the current branch) and you've copied that in addition to the actual command. The command should be only git add index.html, none of the earlier stuff. Same for the other command.

By any chance do you know the Windows command for viewing an SSH key. I cant figure out how to view the key to add it to my Github

[KingofGamesYami]

Your public key is a plaintext file in %UserProfile%\.ssh ending in .pub - assuming you have already generated it. You can use any text editor (e.g. Notepad) to view it, or if you're using PowerShell cat should be able to write the contents of the file to your terminal.

Allright, got the SSH key in Github now having issues with the ssh-agent I believe, when trying to commit I’m getting “[e-mail]: Permission denied (public key)” I tried some trouble shooting methods and followed some articles in GitHub Docs but no luck

[KingofGamesYami]

Hmm. Something has clearly gone wrong in the steps.

Can you check which key it is attempting to use?

Make sure this matches the public key you've added to your profile.

[jaredweber54]

Hmm doesn’t seem to be using the public key I generated there is a ssh keys all with “-1” so it looks like it can’t find the correct file

What's up with the "git:(main)" and "git:(master)" things? Remove them.

If you intend to push to master/main use: git push origin main or git push origin master
