Answer 2

The problem I was having is that I was only using https for my GitHub account. I needed to make sure that my GitHub account was setup for ssh access and that GitHub and heroku were both using the same public keys. These are the steps I took:

1. Navigate to the ~/.ssh directory and delete the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub if they are there. I started with new keys, though it might not be necessary.

   $ cd ~/.ssh
   $ rm id_rsa id_rsa.pub
   

2. Follow the steps on gitHub to generate ssh keys

3. Login to heroku, create a new site and add your public keys:

   $ heroku login
   ...
   $ heroku create
   $ heroku keys:add
   $ git push heroku master
