Github 连接问题之 REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!_the fingerprint for the rsa key sent by the remote

缘起

今天在git bash命令行往github push代码的时候突然收到大大的警告信息，如下：

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:uNiVztksCsDhcc0u9e8BujQXVUpKZIDTMczCvj3tD2s.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in **************************** to get rid of this message.
Offending RSA key in ****************************:2
Host key for github.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

这个仓库是用ssh连接作为remote的。

问题在哪

遂google之，发现就是今天github的blog发了 We updated our RSA SSH host key 。
原来github在今天下午1点左右把他们的RSA SSH 主机key给换了。
出现上面那个错误说明我在我的 ~/.ssh/known_hosts 里有过期的那个key的公钥。

解决方法

blog中给出的解决方法很简单，把known_hosts里的过期key删掉就行了：

$ ssh-keygen -R github.com
1

结果如下：

#Host github.com found: line 2
********/.ssh/known_hosts updated.
Original contents retained as **********/.ssh/known_hosts.old

然后进行任意一项连接到remote的操作，比如 git fetch，就会提示把新的公钥添加到我的known_hosts里，当然选yes：

The authenticity of host ‘github.com (140.82.121.4)’ can’t be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbpZisF/zLDA0zPMSvHdkr4UvCOqU.
This key is not known by any other names.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added ‘github.com’ (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.

问题解决。

后记

最新的公钥在 github docs 里就可以找到 GitHub’s SSH key fingerprints 。
