permission denied (publickey) Error using git on windows 7

Question

When I want to push to github with this command

git push origin master

I got this

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The rem         


        

Answer 1

I was able to resolve this issue as follows:

When you do:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

it prompts you to (optionally) enter a filename for saving the generated keys. Specifying a filename wasted my whole day! Next day I let it use the default filename and the problem(s) disappeared! Imagine!!

Platform was Win7 and msysgit.
