This problem was messing with me for a few days.

This might help.

1) Find out what keys you have in Heroku now.

$ heroku keys
=== 1 key for [email protected]
ssh-dss AAAAB8NzaC...DVj3R4Ww== [email protected]

2) Build a ~/.ssh/config file:

$ sudo vim ~/.ssh/config

Edit with this info

Host heroku.com
Hostname heroku.com 
Port 22 
IdentitiesOnly yes 
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ssh-dss # location and name of your private key
TCPKeepAlive yes

It sounds like your    ssh authorized keys file is not set up correctly   Verify that    It is in the correct path  The permissions of the file are 0600  The permissions of    ssh are 0700

The above given answer DOES work  but found out I needed to do some extra steps before it worked    I removed all id rsa  files and generated a new SSH using this guide  Then  I destroyed the heroku app  Removed the    heroku credentials file   heroku create  command  and since the credentials file is removed  it will prompt you for your email password  FINALLY type  heroku keys add  and it will upload the default    ssh id rsa pub file  It works  Well     YMMV but I really do hope this can be some help as I struggled the whole day trying to figure this out  Haha

On Windows 7 64 bit the above solution  Onur Turhan s   worked for me with slight changes as below  C  Users MyName  gt  heroku login   Enter email password  C  Users MyName  gt ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id rsa   This generated two files id rsa and id rsa pub  in my c  Users MyName directory  Not in  ssh directory   heroku keys add id rsa pub git clone git heroku com some-heiku-xxxx git -o heroku   I guess adding the correct  id rsa pub  file is the most important After generating the public key using keygen just verify that you are adding correct key by looking at the time-stamp when it was created

The problem I faced was on Windows and invariably whenever I run the  heroku keys add  it selected the github keys  So here are the steps I followed to resolve the issue   went to the  ssh directory under  Document and Settings  folder and deleted the git hub keys run the command heroku keys add   The above command asked me to generate a new keys and following was the output     Could not find an existing public key      Would you like to generate one   Yn  Y     Generating new SSH public key      Uploading SSH public key C  Documents and Settings Admin  ssh id rsa pub    done          The  heroku  gem has been deprecated and replaced with the Heroku Toolbelt     download and install from https   toolbelt heroku com    rerun the command heroku keys add   The above command will not give the following output     Found existing public key  C  Documents and Settings Admin  ssh id rsa pub     Uploading SSH public key C  Documents and Settings Admin  ssh id rsa pub    done   Now use the git push heroku master   for me using the above steps solved the issue and was able to deploy the application on the cloud

You have to upload your public key to Heroku   heroku keys add    ssh id rsa pub   If you don t have a public key  Heroku will prompt you to add one automatically which works seamlessly  Just use    heroku keys add   To clear all your previous keys do    heroku keys clear   To display all your existing keys do    heroku keys   EDIT   The above did not seem to work for me  I had messed around with the HOME environment variable and so SSH was searching for keys in the wrong directory   To ensure that SSH checks for the key in the correct directory do    ssh -vT git heroku com   Which will display the following   Sample   lines  OpenSSH 4 6p1  OpenSSL 0 9 8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1  Connecting to heroku com  50 19 85 156  port 22  debug1  Connection established  debug1  identity file  c Wrong Directory  ssh identity type -1 debug1  identity file  c Wrong Directory  ssh id rsa type -1 debug1  identity file  c Wrong Directory  ssh id dsa type -1 debug1  Remote protocol version 2 0  remote software version Twisted debug1  no match  Twisted debug1  Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2 0 debug1  Local version string SSH-2 0-OpenSSH 4 6 debug1  SSH2 MSG KEXINIT sent debug1  SSH2 MSG KEXINIT received debug1  kex  server- gt client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1  kex  client- gt server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1  sending SSH2 MSG KEXDH INIT debug1  expecting SSH2 MSG KEXDH REPLY debug1  Host  heroku com  is known and matches the RSA host key  debug1  Found key in  c Wrong Directory  ssh known hosts 1 debug1  ssh rsa verify  signature correct debug1  SSH2 MSG NEWKEYS sent debug1  expecting SSH2 MSG NEWKEYS debug1  SSH2 MSG NEWKEYS received debug1  SSH2 MSG SERVICE REQUEST sent debug1  SSH2 MSG SERVICE ACCEPT received debug1  Authentications that can continue  publickey debug1  Next authentication method  publickey debug1  Trying private key   c Wrong Directory  ssh identity debug1  Trying private key   c Wrong Directory  ssh id rsa debug1  Trying private key   c Wrong Directory  ssh id dsa debug1  No more authentication methods to try    Permission denied  publickey    From the above you could observe that ssh looks for the keys in the  c Wrong Directory  ssh directory which is not where we have the public keys that we just added to heroku   using heroku keys add    ssh id rsa pub     Please note that in windows OS   refers to the HOME path which in win 7   8 is C  Users UserName    To view your current home directory do   echo  HOME or echo  HOME    Windows    To set your HOME directory correctly   by correctly I mean the parent directory of  ssh directory  so that ssh could look for keys in the correct directory   refer these links     SO Answer on how to set Unix environment variable permanently SO Question regarding ssh looking for keys in the wrong directory and a solution for the same

Here is what worked for me  The heroku site is not being added to your known hosts  Go to window-other- show view-git-git repositories  From there clone the repository  Once you clone it  delete the repository that was just created and then import it from the file menu  Do this since when you clone the repository  it does not add it to the explorer view  Now you should have the git repository and the explorer view

Instead of dealing with SSH keys  you can also try Heroku s new  beta HTTP Git support  It just uses your API token and runs on port 443  so no SSH keys or port 22 to mess with   To use HTTP Git  first make sure Toolbelt is updated and that your credentials are current     heroku update   heroku login    this is important because Heroku HTTP Git authenticates in a slightly different way than the rest of Toolbelt   During the beta  you get HTTP by passing the --http-git flag to the relevant heroku apps create  heroku git clone and heroku git remote commands  To create a new app and have it be configured with a HTTP Git remote  run this     heroku apps create --http-git   To change an existing app from SSH to HTTP Git  simply run this command from the app   s directory on your machine     heroku git remote --http-git Git remote heroku updated   Check out the Dev Center documentation for details on how set up HTTP Git for Heroku

I would just to like to add that the directory is not necessarily C  Users  username   ssh  It is the directory in which you created your public key in   For instance my home directory in Windows was changed to C   username   Your home directory in a  ssh sub-folder is the best and most likely place you may have created your keys  You can check your home directory in Windows with the command       echo  HOMEPATH

If you want to use  sudo   example   sudo git clone git heroku com          -o heroku   you should also generate ssh key for your root user   sudo su cd  root  ssh   ssh-keygen -t rsa      heroku keys add id rsa pub   and it ll work   if you don t use root user  generate ssh key in your user directory instead   cd  home user  ssh   Sorry if my sentences messed up

Check your  ssh config for heroku  Go to the  ssh folder and open the config file  cd    ssh subl config   The  subl  is for Sublime Text  but you can use whatever editor you wish  Look for the line  IdentityFile  and make sure it has the non public key listed   IdentityFile   Users ircmullaney  ssh my ssh    not  IdentityFile   Users ircmullaney  ssh my ssh pub    That did it for me  I m not sure why mine had the public version in the config file  but it did and it was throwing the error    Permissions 0644 for   Users ircmullaney  ssh my ssh pub  are too open
