git push: permission denied (public key)

by

I was facing same problem and here is what I did that worked for me.

Use ssh instead of http. Remove origin if its http.

git remote rm origin

Add ssh url

git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/<repo>.git

Generate ssh key inside .ssh/ folder. It will ask for path and passphrase where you can just press enter and proceed.

cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen

Copy the key. You can view your key using –

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If you hadn’t specified a different path then this will be the default path.

Add this key to your github account.

Next do –

ssh -T [email protected]

You will get a welcome message in your console.

cd into to your project folder. git push -u origin master now works!
