This error happened while using Ubuntu Bash on Windows.

I switched to standard windows cmd prompt, and it worked no error.

This is a workaround as it means you probably need to load the ssh private key in ubuntu environment if you want to use ubuntu.

You need to fork the project to your own user repository   Then add origin   git remote add upstream your-ssh-here git fetch upstream git branch --set-upstream-to upstream master master

In order to deploy to your friend s repo you need to add your public key to the repository s deploy keys   Go to the repository  go to deploy keys  and add the id rsa pub  or whatever yours is named  to  deploy keys     I believe adding the key to your own account only lets you write to repositories that your account created  If it was created by an organization you need to add the key to the repo s deploy keys    https   developer github com v3 guides managing-deploy-keys

If you have your private key s  in    ssh and have added them to https   github com settings ssh  but still are unable to commit to a Github repo added via ssh  make sure they are added to your ssh-agent   ssh-add -k    ssh  PRIVATE KEY    You can add multiple private keys for multiple servers  e g  Bitbucket  amp  GitHub  and it will use the correct one when dealing with git

None of the above solutions worked for me  For context  I m running ubuntu  and I had already gone through the ssh-key setup documentation  The fix for me was to run ssh-add in the terminal  This fixed the issue   Source  http   baptiste-wicht com posts 2010 07 tip-how-to-solve-agent-admitted-failure-to-sign-using-the-key-error html

The documentation from Github is really explanatory   https   help github com en articles adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account https   help github com en articles generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent  I think you must do the lasts steps from the guide to proper configure your keys    eval    ssh-agent -s     ssh-add    ssh id rsa

This worked for me  Simplest solution by far   If you are using GitHub for Windows and getting this error  the problem might be that you are trying to run the command in the wrong shell or mode  If you are trying to do git push origin master in the regular command prompt or PowerShell  this is the problem    You need to do it in a git shell  Simply open Github for Windows  right click  and select  Open Shell Here   It looks like a regular PowerShell window  but it s not  which makes it really confusing for newbies to git  like myself   I hope others find this useful

If you already have your public key added to the GITHUB server there are other solutions that you can try   In my case the GIT PUSH was failing from inside RUBYMINE but doing it from the Terminal window solved the problem   For more solutions visit this page https   github com gitlabhq gitlabhq issues 4730

I fixed it by re-adding the key to my ssh-agent    with the following command   ssh-add    ssh path to private key you generated  For some reasons it was gone

I was facing same problem  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 git github com  lt username gt   lt repo gt  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  If you hadn t specified a different path then this is the default one   cat    ssh id rsa pub   Add this key to your github account  Next do  ssh -T git github com   You will get a welcome message in your console   cd into to your project folder  git push -u origin master now works
