git push heroku master permission denied

Question

I am following the ruby.railstutorial. I run the command \"git push heroku master\" and it spits out this error.

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not          


        

Answer 1

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Above is optional as you could also link to an existing key. Heroku will prompt to select the key in the next step.

heroku keys:add

Add your newly created key or an existing one. If you are still running into the issue, you will most likely need to add the key to your machine's list of ssh keys by performing the following:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/name_of_your_rsa

and confirm that your ssh has been added

ssh-add -l

This should get you access to push to Heroku's remote repo.
