Could not read from remote repository

Question

I have received the following error multiple times:

Could not read remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repo

Answer 1

Assuming you have done the proper SSH keys configuration according to github's instructions it might be a problem of pull with https and later pushing with git+ssh

to make it more clear

if you have used https to pull

git pull https://github.com/user/repo.git

then you have changed remote URL

git remote set-url origin git+ssh://github.com/user/repo.git

and tried to push after some changes and commits

git push origin master

you might get this error it happened to me

erase the local repository and re-clone using git+ssh

git pull git+ssh://github.com/user/repo.git

and now your push should work
