Git checkout in Bamboo fails with:Cannot read keypair, it doesn't contain any line with '-----BEGIN'
Asked by Priidu Kull:

I am setting up a new instance of Bamboo. When I run my first build plan ( checkout from a git repository), it fails with the following error log:

```

When I set up my repo, I pressed "test connection" and was successful in creating a connection. Git checkout only fail when running the build plan.

For the id_rsa file I use a proper id_rsa file, it does being with -----BEGIN

All help with the issue will be much appreciated.

body: Hello,

This seems to be caused by entering a private ssh key where Bamboo needs the key itself. In Bamboo 6.5 when setting up shared credentials, you get to enter your key in an input box labelled "SSH Key". Below this box is the text "SSH private key you want to use to access the repository." Make sure to enter the **private** key.

Regards,

Theodor

author: somethingblue
body: Hi Priidu,

* What version of Bamboo are you using?

I found a bug that seems to resemble what you're experiencing. You can find it at BAM-18359. Take a look at the issue and if you believe it applies, there is a workaround that you can try:

**Workaround**

1. Disable *Override the plan's default repository settings*
2. Press save
3. Enable *Override the plan's default repository settings* and select the new repository
4. Press save

If that does work for you please vote on the issue and you'll be notified of any changes to the issue.

Cheers,

Branden
