Can't perform a push, pull or fetch, regardless of branch and remote.

[Drywtler]

I'm very new to Git and GitHub, and I don't know where else to find help besides bothering the dev via their socials, I prefer not doing that.

I can see, create and remove all the branches and remotes from within the Godot editor, but I cannot perform a push, pull or fetch.

If I try to perform any of those commands on origin I get:
ERROR: core/variant/variant_utility.cpp:1098 - GitPlugin: Could not connect to remote "origin". Are your credentials correct? Try using a PAT token (in case you are using Github) as your password. Error -17: the SSL certificate is invalid in godot-git-plugin\src\git_plugin.cpp:GitPlugin::_push#L533
If I try to do it on another remote I get:
ERROR: core/variant/variant_utility.cpp:1098 - GitPlugin: Could not connect to remote "prueba1". Are your credentials correct? Try using a PAT token (in case you are using Github) as your password. Error -17: invalid or unknown remote ssh hostkey in godot-git-plugin\src\git_plugin.cpp:GitPlugin::_fetch#L411

I did all the steps required to connect my Godot project to my repo. I made a PAT and put it on the password field.
The PAT has the following permissions as suggested by this comment on the godot engine tutorial docs regarding VCS:

• Repository permissions (Read/Write): Actions, Adminstration, Codespaces, Contents, Issues, Merge, Pull requests
• Account permissions (Read): Git SSH keys, SSH signing keys.

Perhaps the SSH key is not effective since I added it to my account as an Authentication Key rather than a Signing Key, and maybe it lacks permissions too. But then again I am very new to this, so I could be missing some fundamentals.

If it is important to mention: my OS is Windows 11 Pro, I am on Godot v4.4.stable.official [4c311cbee] and using version 3.2.0 of the plugin.

Can you try 3.2.1? https://github.com/godotengine/godot-git-plugin/releases/tag/v3.2.1

Hi @Calinou,
I've installed it myself to check as I have also been experiencing this bug. Sadly it hasn't resolved it for me, I just attempted a push and got this:
GitPlugin: Performing push to origin
ERROR: core/variant/variant_utility.cpp:1024 - GitPlugin: Could not connect to remote "origin". Are your credentials correct? Try using a PAT token (in case you are using Github) as your password.

I don't mean to hijack this, but I just wanted to say that I finally got SSH authentication to work with this plugin. I had to go through and reconfigure everything after upgrading to 3.2.1, but it works now. Here is what I did:
Upgraded to 3.2.1 and got it working with PAT token first.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "email@anywhere.com"
git config --global user.email "user@anywhere.com"
git config --global user.name "name"
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git@host.tld:username/repo.git
ssh-add /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa
I also had to create ~/.ssh/config and added the following information into it:
Host host.tld
Hostname host.tld
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

IdentitiesOnly yes

I then added my public key to my git hosts interface.

That got it working via command line, then I went in the version control settings in godot and added email in the username field
I set SSH Public key path and private key path and the ssh password. That got it working, at least for me.
I hope this helps.
