GitHub: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Question

I have followed these instructions below to upload a project.

Global setup:

 Download and install Git
  git config --global user.name \"Your Name\"
         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I had to setup the public key for another user, as I already had one for my main user. once I switched users and performed the commands in the link above I was able to perform the setup for my test server without a problem.

Answer 2

after you created the RSA key pair, you must to add it to SSH using:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

or wherever you created your rsa key pair.

Answer 3

I had this problem, but none of the solutions above worked. I could clone and fetch but couldn't push. Eventually, I figured out the problem was in the url in my .git/config, it should be:

git@github.com:<username>/<project>

(not ssh://github.com/<username>/<project>.git or https://github.com/<username>/<project>.git).

Answer 4

A good one if you have installed git on your computer:

Answer 5

You can try change your type connection to branch from ssh to https.

1. nano project_path/.git/config
2. Replace git@github.com:username/repository.git to https://username@github.com/username/repository_name.git
3. Save file ctrl + o

After that you can try git pull without publickey
