Unable to Git-push master to Github - 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository / permission denied

Question

This question is related to my problem in understanding rebase, branch and merge, and to the problem

How can you commit to your github account as you

Answer 1

I think that's another case of git error messages being misleading. Usually when I've seen that error it's due to ssh problems. Did you add your public ssh key to your github account?

Edit: Also, the xinet.d forum post is referring to running the git-daemon as a service so that people could pull from your system. It's not necessary to run git-daemon to push to github.
