# Session Summary — 2026-06-13-01-gitea-push-setup

**Date:** 2026-06-13
**Model:** Sonnet-4.6 (Claude Code)
**Status:** ✅ Complete

## What We Did

- Initialized git repo for the Artfight HTML project
- Added Gitea remote with SSH URL on port 2222
- Diagnosed and resolved SSH authentication failure:
  - SSH config already had correct entry (`git.lavender-daydream.com`, port 2222, `id_ed25519_mew`)
  - SSH agent had no identities loaded (`ssh-add -l` returned empty)
  - Fixed by running `ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_mew`
- Renamed branch from `master` to `main`
- Pushed initial commit to Gitea

## Key Commands

```bash
git init
git remote add git-lav ssh://git@git.lavender-daydream.com:2222/berlyn/Artfight-HTML.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git branch -m master main
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_mew
git push -u git-lav main
```

## Root Cause

SSH agent was empty — key was not loaded despite being correctly configured in `~/.ssh/config`. The agent loses loaded keys on reboot/session restart. Fix: `ssh-add` the key.

## Lessons Learned

- SSH config being correct is not enough — the key also needs to be loaded into the agent (`ssh-add`)
- `no identity pubkey loaded` in verbose SSH output (`-v`) indicates the agent isn't holding the key
- For non-standard SSH ports, use the `ssh://` URL format: `ssh://git@host:PORT/user/repo.git`
