Fix Error with git even after adding the public key. Git bash Permission denied (publickey).

This could be a common issue while using git bash in windows.

Before fixing this issue, it is assumed that the public/private key pair is generated and the public key is configured in the git server (github, bitbucket or whatever).

Still, if you get the "Permission denied (publickey)." which means, the ssh agent might not have recognized your key. To solve this you'll have to make sure the ssh agent is running and the key is added.

Run the ssh agent, execute the below command in git bash

exec ssh-agent bash

To check if the key is added run the below command.

ssh-add -l

If there is no key, it will print "The agent has no identities."

To add the key, run the below command with the path to your private key.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/thilinarsa

(My key file is located in C:/User/Thilina/.ssh/thilinarsa)

If you run the ssh-add -l command again you should see the key file added.

Run the git clone or pull command again and see if it works!

Automatically open Chrome developer tools in a new tab

Sometimes we need to check the console or the network transactions of a link that opens up in a new tab. By default, the Chrome developer tools are not opening in a new tab. So, by the time when we hit F12 and open the dev tools, part of the information we needed could be already gone. There's a setting in dev tools where you can keep the dev tools open automatically in a new tab. To enable that, hit F12 and open up the dev tools. Click on the settings icon in the top right corner. In the Preferences section, scroll down to the bottom. You'll be able to find the option to Auto-open DevTools for popups. Select the checkbox and we're good to go!
