I am on 663c429605b66d1947d0b7cc50a11cd142494bb2. From termui trying to push a change I got the following error:

knownhosts: /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:35: ssh:
exponent too large

From the commandline it worked fine (weird).

git bug bridge push
changed status: 7ed608976c50f2ed17230be222336af6cfbc84d2be59aa1ae7888e30511f274b
exported 0 issues with default bridge

Line 35 is valid in my known_hosts.

Not sure if I can help reproduce this, but thought it was an odd error.

I think you are using two different operations here. I'll try to explain.

1. git bug bridge push/pull: Export and import bugs to some external bug tracker e.g. GitHubs Issue Tracker or Jira.
2. git-bug push: This commands works without a configured bridge. It pushes the "raw" bug database (stored in your local .git directory) to the remote origin repository. In effect git-bug push is a disguised git push :-).

As far as I know, the push/pull operations in the TermUI only support git-bug push/pull commands. So the TermUI doesn't make use of your configured bridges. TLDR: exporting and importing of bugs from another bug tracker seem to be not supported by the TermUI. So if you want to manage your GitHub Issues via git-bug, you have to use the commandline with git-bug bridge push/pull.

To your error. The second command git bug bridge push succeeds as ssh is not used by the bridge. While your first command TermUI::Push uses ssh to git push your git-bug database to your remote repository.

Unfortunately this might not solve your error with the TermUI, but does calling git-bug push fail also with the same error as the TermUI push?

aah this was not directly clear to me from the ui. It does make sense. I expected (a bridge) to be transparent.

Closing as it's an quite old issue. Please reopen if that's still a problem.
