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

on OSX, I was having experiencing the same issue, I was getting

no such identity: /Users/me/.ssh/yourPrivateKey: No such file or directory
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I tried to create a new key with ssh-keygen -t rsa then adding it with heroku keys:add, but it didn't help.

Then I found a file named config in ~/.ssh/, and inside the file there was:

ServerAliveInterval 300
ServerAliveCountMax 3

host heroku.com
    user git
    hostname heroku.com
    identityfile ~/.ssh/yourPrivateKey

So I changed yourPrivateKey to my private key filename (id_rsa by default) aaand it worked :)
