This means, on your local machine, you haven't made any SSH keys. Not to worry. Here's how to fix: Open git bash (Use the Windows search. To find it, type "git bash") or the Mac Terminal. Pro Tip: You can use any *nix based command prompt (but not the https://gist.github.com/adamjohnson/5682757 default Windows Command Prompt!) Type cd ~/.ssh. This will take you to the root directory for Git (Likely C:\Users\[YOUR-USER-NAME]\.ssh\ on Windows) Within the .ssh folder, there should be these two files: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. These are the files that tell your computer how to communicate with GitHub, BitBucket, or any other Git based service. Type ls to see a directory listing. If those two files don't show up, proceed to the next step. NOTE: Your SSH keys must be named id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in order for Git, GitHub, and BitBucket to recognize them by default. To create the SSH keys, type ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com". This will create both id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files. Now, go and open id_rsa.pub in your favorite text editor (you can do this via Windows Explorer or the OSX Finder if you like, tpying open . will open the folder). Copy the contents--exactly as it appears, with no extra spaces or lines--of id_rsa.pub and paste it into GitHub and/or BitBucket under the Account Settings > SSH Keys. NOTE: I like to give the SSH key a descriptive

So, either you aren't setup with an SSH key, because you haven't set one up on your machine, or your key isn't associated with your GitHub account. You can also use the HTTPS URL instead of the SSH/git URL to avoid having to deal with SSH keys. This is GitHub's recommended method. Further, GitHub has a help page specifically for that error message, and explains in more detail everything you could check. share|improve this answer answered Oct 17 '12 at 18:15 bdukes 85k13113143 10 This error is not exclusive to GitHub. I am getting the same error with BitBucket, and I'm scratching my head as to how to resolve it... –Igor Ganapolsky Feb 21 '14 at 14:57 5 thanks @IgorGanapolsky for the friendly reminder that git != github –abbood May 1 '14 at 5:51 10 Upvote for the HTTPS over SSH suggestion –Patrick Read Dec 2 '14 at 16:17 2 The helping part is using ssh -vT git@github.com from the Github help page to help debug what key your repo is using.

I am unable to git push -u origin master or git push origin master ( the same command ). I've had my git account for at least 2 or so years. I've successfully been able to create repos and push -u origin master fine on my laptop but on this desktop I'm having issues. Here's what I tried: 1. I have setup my git user name 2. I have setup my git user email 3. I have uploaded the contents of my /home/meder/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to github's account page. I have verified I did not paste any whitespace 4. I have created a ~/.ssh/config with these contents: Host github.com User git Hostname github.com PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa I have chmodded the .ssh to 700, id_rsa 600 5. I have added the proper remote origin without making typos : git remote add origin git@github.com:medero/cho.git 6. To confirm #5, here is my .git/config. The directory is correct and not another directory: [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = git@github.com:medero/cho.git 7. ssh git@github.com -v gives me a successful Authentication 8. One weird thing is, the username which it greets me with has t appended to it. My github username is medero, not medert. Hi mederot! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. 9. I am not behind a proxy or firewall 10. The key is offered, heres the output from -v: de
