# Gitea SSH Push Failure Workaround
## Problem
`git push` via SSH to `git@git.manticorum.com` fails with a password prompt rather than authenticating with a key.
## Root Cause
`~/.ssh/config` has a `gitea` alias pointing to host `10.10.0.225` as `root` using `homelab_rsa`. However this alias uses the hostname `gitea`, not `git.manticorum.com`, so git's SSH format (`git@git.manticorum.com`) does not match the config entry.
## Workaround
Use HTTPS URL instead:
```
https://git.manticorum.com/cal/repo.git
```
HTTPS works without auth issues.
## Proper Fix (TODO)
Add an SSH config entry for the git hostname:
```
Host git.manticorum.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/homelab_rsa
```
Or update the remote URL to use the `gitea` alias: `git@gitea:cal/repo.git`.
