foundry devops installation command '--no-commit' added at the end.

[LareineHan]

Hi all,
I don't know why so many commands aren't matching Patrick's versions.
Anyway, here's what I did today.

When I install foundry devops on terminal,
This was the command on the github repo. So I tried.

forge install Cyfrin/foundry-devops 

I receive this error.

Error: 
The target directory is a part of or on its own an already initialized git repository,
and it requires clean working and staging areas, including no untracked files.

Check the current git repository's status with `git status`.
Then, you can track files with `git add ...` and then commit them with `git commit`,
ignore them in the `.gitignore` file, or run this command again with the `--no-commit` flag.

and I tried this and worked perfectly.

forge install Cyfrin/foundry-devops --no-commit

I thought some people should've faced this issue as well.

I asked Gemini Ai and the below was her suggestion

The error message [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey). indicates that the Forge CLI cannot access the GitHub repository using SSH authentication. This likely means your SSH key is not set up correctly for Forge to use.

Here's how to resolve this and import the repo successfully:

1. Generate an SSH key pair (if you don't have one):

• Open your terminal application.
• Generate a new SSH key pair if you haven't already. You can do this by running the following command:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

• Replace [email protected] with your actual email address.
• Follow the prompts to enter a passphrase (optional) and save the key pair. The private key will be saved by default to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 and the public key to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub.

2. Add the public key to your GitHub account:

• Copy the contents of your public key file (~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub). You can do this using the cat command:

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

• Go to your GitHub account settings ([https://github.com/settings/keys](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&source=gmail&q=https://github.com/settings/keys)).
• Click on "New SSH key" and paste the copied public key into the key field.
• Give your key a descriptive title (e.g., "My Forge Machine").
• Click "Add SSH key".

3. Configure Forge to use your SSH key:

• There are two ways to configure Forge:

  • Set the FORGE_SSH_KEY environment variable:

    export FORGE_SSH_KEY=~/.ssh/id_ed25519

  • Set the ~/.config/forge/config.toml file:

    • Create the ~/.config/forge directory if it doesn't exist.
    • Create a file named config.toml in that directory.
    • Add the following line to the file, replacing PATH_TO_YOUR_KEY with the actual path to your private key file (e.g., ~/.ssh/id_ed25519):

    [auth]
    ssh_key = "PATH_TO_YOUR_KEY"

4. Retry the Forge installation:

• After configuring Forge, try running the installation command again:

forge install Cyfrin/foundry-devops --no-commit

This time, Forge should be able to use your SSH key to authenticate with GitHub and successfully import the repository.

Additional notes:

• If you already have an SSH key pair, you only need to add the public key to your GitHub account.
• Make sure the private key file has the correct permissions (chmod 600).
• Consider using a tool like ssh-agent to manage your SSH keys securely.

Try the suggestion and let's see if it helps you.

I thought some people should've faced this issue as well.

This is a common issue when installing dependencies in a forge project because forge initializes a Git repository by default. The error happens because forge install interacts with Git to add a submodule, but it requires a clean working directory. If you have untracked files or uncommitted changes, the installation fails.

To fix this:

Run

git status

to see the current state of your Git repository.

If there are untracked or changed files:
Add and commit them:

git add .
git commit -m "Save changes before installing dependencies"

Ignore unwanted files by adding them to your .gitignore file if you don’t want Git to track them or remove unwanted files:

git clean -f

Run:

forge install Cyfrin/foundry-devops

If you don’t want to commit your changes yet, you can use the --no-commit flag to bypass this requirement and later add them manually to git if you want to:

forge install Cyfrin/foundry-devops --no-commit

If I remember correctly Patrick use the --no-commit flag, what lesson are you referring to?

Awesome.
