You should understand the difference between a password and a
passphrase. A password is used as a means of authentication to a remote
system. We do not use passwords for authentication

A passphrase encrypts your private key - locally on your system - and is
never sent to the server. Your ssh key for gnome.org must be encrypted
with a passphrase.

You have a ssh key on git.gnome.org:

AAAAB3NzaC1yc2E...3xPTjzSWFVo1WoU9ctQ== sshedmak sshedmak csb

And it looks correctly installed. Check that matches your id_rsa.pub. If
you still have problems, the complete output of 'ssh -v' would be useful
in diagnosing the problem.

The complete output of 'ssh -v sandeeps git gnome org' is attached.

Why the exit status ended up with '1' ?
