After pushing my code to server when i try to install nova using composer i get error "Cloning failed using an ssh key for authentication, enter your GitHub credentials to access private repos Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+fitwhizz+2018-12-20+1232 to retrieve a token. It will be stored in "/root/.config/composer/auth.json" for future use by Composer"
How can i solve this issue?
Have you tried to accessing the url (https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+fitwhizz+2018-12-20+1232) and generate the token? And if you did check that the token is stored in /root/.config/composer/auth.json
@manelgavalda yes, I have the same issue and it does not help. Nova has its own credentials in auth.json you get when you buy license. And if their private repo is down, composer cannot install.
Hey, I don't know if this will help. I had a similar problem and it was to do with the other repos Composer was trying to access. I worked around the problem by using the http-basic auth as in this doc https://nono.ma/github-oauth-token-for-github-com-contains-invalid-characters-on-composer-install
