The traceback points to pygit2/remote.py in Remote.push, where payload.check_error(err) is called. Reproduce the SSH push failure and inspect the check_error signature and surrounding push flow; done means the SSH push no longer raises this TypeError.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

self = <pygit2.remote.Remote object at 0x10acc76a0>, specs = ['refs/heads/git-push-test-ssh'], callbacks = <class 'fixtures.repos.fixture_cli.MyRemoteCallbacks'>
proxy = None

def push(self, specs, callbacks=None, proxy=None):
    """
    Push the given refspec to the remote. Raises ``GitError`` on protocol
    error or unpack failure.

    When the remote has a githook installed, that denies the reference this
    function will return successfully. Thus it is strongly recommended to
    install a callback, that implements
    :py:meth:`RemoteCallbacks.push_update_reference` and check the passed
    parameters for successfull operations.

    Parameters:

    specs : [str]
        Push refspecs to use.

    proxy : None or True or str
        Proxy configuration. Can be one of:

        * `None` (the default) to disable proxy usage
        * `True` to enable automatic proxy detection
        * an url to a proxy (`http://proxy.example.org:3128/`)
    """
    with git_push_options(callbacks) as payload:
        opts = payload.push_options
        self.__set_proxy(opts.proxy_opts, proxy)
        with StrArray(specs) as refspecs:
            err = C.git_remote_push(self._remote, refspecs, opts)
          payload.check_error(err)

E TypeError: check_error() missing 1 required positional argument: 'error_code'
