Answer 1

I faced the same issue. In my .ssh folder I had a file called 'Known Hosts'. I kept trying to delete and create new ssh keys it did not work. In the end I just deleted everything in .ssh including 'Known Hosts' and then created a new rsa key using:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

then I added this new key to heroku using:

heroku keys:add

then create a new heroku repo and pushed my app to it:

heroku create
git push heroku master
