GitHub: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository

  • 0

I´m having trouble with GitHub. I´ve playing around with a remote repository of Git.

When I now try to make any changes to the remote directory, i.e.

git remote show origin

or

git push -u origin master

I get this error

Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Ulrichs-MacBook-Pro:coredatatest ulrichheinelt$ git push -u origin master Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I would be happy, when I could start again with a new (empty) remote directory. Or is there a way, to fix this error?

This are my first steps with GitHub, started yesterday… Many thanks in advance!

Edit 1

my settings at https://github.com/UlliH/CoreDataTest/settings

too early happy 🙁

After setting the SSH and GPG keys, the errors are still the same. :-/

    1. Generate SSH key using ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your email".
    2. Copy the output of cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to your clipboard
    3. Paste the above-copied output to the form at https://github.com/settings/ssh/new

    Update: If you are still facing “ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out”, then follow the below steps.

    Check the connection, mostly it will time out

    $ ssh -T [email protected]
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out

    Check the same by providing optional param port

    $ ssh -T -p 443 [email protected]
Hi <user_name>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

    Update the SSH settings

    $ vim ~/.ssh/config
# Add github in the know hosts
Host github.com
  Hostname ssh.github.com
  Port 443

    Check the connection, mostly it will connect this time

    $ ssh -T [email protected]
Hi <user_name>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
provide shell access.
