## General questions {#common}

### I am working in Yandex Cloud using my own organization, but SourceCraft has created a new one. How do I delete it? {#personal-org}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/common.md -->
To use a SourceCraft account, you need a [personal organization](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#org), i.e., a workspace with you as the owner. During sign-up, SourceCraft looks for a suitable Yandex Cloud organization and, if it fails to find one, creates a new organization.

You cannot delete a personal organization directly. To delete it:

  1. [Contact](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/proposal-create.md) support to select a different personal organization.
  1. [Delete](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/delete-account-and-org.md) the organization you do not need.

To switch to a new personal organization, you must be its owner.
<!-- endsource: en/_qa/sourcecraft/common.md -->

### I have created an organization in SourceCraft, but it turned out that I do not need it. How do I delete it? {#delete-org}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/common.md -->
Since each SourceCraft organization is tied to a Yandex Cloud [organization](https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/organization/concepts/organization), you can manage them in [Cloud Center](https://center.yandex.cloud). If you have the required [permissions](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/security/index.md#src-roles), simply delete the Yandex Cloud organization; this will also delete the organization in SourceCraft.
<!-- endsource: en/_qa/sourcecraft/common.md -->

## SourceCraft Sites {#sourcecraft-sites}

### How do I confirm ownership of a SourceCraft Sites website in Yandex Webmaster? {#verify-site-owner}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-sites.md -->
To confirm ownership of a [SourceCraft Sites](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/sites.md) website in [Yandex Webmaster](https://webmaster.yandex.ru/):

1. [Create](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/repo-create.md) a [repository](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos) in the organization with the same name as the [organization](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#org).
1. In the repository, create a SourceCraft Sites website. It will be available at the following addresses:
   * `https://<organization_name>.sourcecraft.site/`
   * `https://<organization_name>.sourcecraft.site/<organization_name>/`

1. Add the verification meta tag to the site's main page:
   * [Register](https://webmaster.yandex.ru/sites/add/) the website in Yandex Webmaster.
   * Select verification by [meta tag](https://yandex.ru/support/webmaster/ru/controlling-robot/metatags).
   * Add the meta tag you got to the HTML code of the main page:

   ```html
   <meta name="yandex-verification" content="<verification_code>" />
   ```

This will verify all repositories and sites in the organization. Learn more about configuring hosting [here](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/tutorials/sites.md).

1. Set another browser as your default browser temporarily, e.g., Firefox.
1. In the new browser, go to the [authentication page](https://auth.yandex.cloud/) and sign in using your personal `login@yandex.ru` type [Yandex account](https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/iam/concepts/users/accounts#passport), ​​not your domain account.
1. In the management console, make sure you selected the correct account.
1. Go back to the IDE, click ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/magnifier.svg), type `SourceCraft Code Assistant` and select **SourceCraft Code Assistant: Login**.

After successful authentication, the `SourceCraft Code Assistant Authenticated Successfully` message will appear in the browser.
<!-- endsource: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->

#### The plugin does not start in JetBrains IDE; 404 error; Code Assistant's suggestions not displayed {#plugin-doesnt-start-jb}

<!-- source: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->
Try restarting the IDE.
<!-- endsource: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->

#### Error during plugin installation: No plugins found. Check the log file for errors {#no-plugins-found-jb}

<!-- source: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->
This error occurs if the JetBrains IDE version is not supported by the Code Assistant plugin. Check the [list of supported versions](#ide-versions) and make sure your IDE version is among them.
<!-- endsource: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->

#### The JetBrains IDE plugin installs incorrectly {#plugin-installed-incorrectly-jb}

<!-- source: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->
<!-- source: en/_includes/code-assistant/plugin-ide-zip.md -->
The plugin is installed in the IDE as a ZIP archive. Do not unpack the archive you downloaded.

Some browsers, such as Safari on macOS, automatically unpack the downloaded archives. To download the plugin file exactly as an archive, right-click the link with the plugin, select **Download Linked File As...**, and click **Save**.
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/code-assistant/plugin-ide-zip.md -->
<!-- endsource: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->

#### Proxy authentication error in JetBrains IDE {#auth-error-proxy-jb}

Error message:

```text
Failed to authenticate with proxy
```

Check if the proxy server is enabled in the IDE. If it is, disable it and try authenticating again.
<!-- endsource: en/code-assistant/qa.md -->

## SSH access {#sourcecraft-security}

### How do I test an SSH connection? {#verify-ssh}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->
To learn how to add an SSH key and access a [repository](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos), see [Accessing a repository with an SSH key](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/security/ssh.md).

After adding the SSH key, run this command:

```bash
ssh -T ssh://ssh.sourcecraft.dev
```

If authenticated successfully, you will see this message:

<!-- source: en/_includes/sourcecraft/auth-text.md -->
```text
Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but SourceCraft does not provide shell access.
```
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/sourcecraft/auth-text.md -->
<!-- endsource: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->

### How do I use SSH over HTTPS port? {#ssh-https-use}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->
If your firewall blocks SSH connections and cloning over [HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS) with a [personal token](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/security/pat.md) is unavailable, try cloning the repository via SSH over the HTTPS port. This connection is usually allowed by firewalls, but may be blocked by proxy servers.

To check if SSH connection is possible via the HTTPS port, run this command:

```bash
ssh -T -p 443 ssh.sourcecraft.dev
```

If authenticated successfully, you will see this message:

<!-- source: en/_includes/sourcecraft/auth-text.md -->
```text
Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but SourceCraft does not provide shell access.
```
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/sourcecraft/auth-text.md -->

{% note info %}

For port `443`, use the `ssh.sourcecraft.dev` hostname, not `sourcecraft.dev`.

{% endnote %}

To clone the [repository](https://vibe.sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos) via port `443`, run this command:

```shell
git clone ssh://ssh.sourcecraft.dev:443/<username>/<repository_name>.git
```
<!-- endsource: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->

### How do I set up an SSH connection via HTTPS? {#ssh-https-config}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->
If connecting to `ssh.sourcecraft.dev` on port `443` works, you can configure SSH so that all connections to `sourcecraft.dev` automatically use this host and port.

To do this, edit the `~/.ssh/config` file and add the following section to it:

```text
Host sourcecraft.dev
    Hostname ssh.sourcecraft.dev
    Port 443
    User git
```

To check that the settings are applied, connect to `sourcecraft.dev` again:

```bash
ssh -T sourcecraft.dev
```

If the connection is successful, you will see this message:

<!-- source: en/_includes/sourcecraft/auth-text.md -->
```text
Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but SourceCraft does not provide shell access.
```
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/sourcecraft/auth-text.md -->
<!-- endsource: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->

### How do I update my list of known hosts? {#ssh-hosts-update}

<!-- source: en/_qa/sourcecraft/sourcecraft-security.md -->
If this is your first time connecting to SourceCraft, you will get an unknown host warning:

```text
The authenticity of host '[ssh.sourcecraft.dev]:443 ([<IP_address>]:443)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbp********.
This host key is known by the following other names/addresses:
    ~/.ssh/known_hosts:32: sourcecraft.dev
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
```
Type `yes` into the terminal and press **Enter**.
