If you are using a linux machine then check,

do you have Openssh installed
if you do, then do you have an existing public key otherwise you'll have to generate one.
is your public key added to your github account.

Generating new SSH keys and adding them to my Github account solved my problem. You can look into this page for more details. GitHelp.

You need to set up SSH keys   This GitHub page explains how to generate keys   If you have an existing key  you copy  HOME  ssh id rsa pub and paste it into the GitHub SSH settings page

I got a solution after a long time in tutorials   I followed the github tutorial on this link -  https   help github com articles error-permission-denied-publickey and I was able to connect in every step  But when I was trying to git push -u origin master I got this error      Permission denied  publickey   fatal  Could not read from remote   repository       Please make sure you have the correct access rights   Thats how I ve fixed it   Go to the project directory using the Terminal and check it out   git remote -v   You will get something like this   origin  ssh   git github com yourGithubUserName yourRepo git  fetch  origin  ssh   git github com yourGithubUserName yourRepo git  push    If you are using anything different then git github com  open the config file on git directory by typing the command   vi  git config   And configure the line   remote  origin    url   ssh   git github com yourGithubUserName yourRepo git  fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin

Given that none of the answers here worked for me  I finally tracked down my issue connecting to Bitbucket  or Github  doesn t matter in this case  with ssh -vT git bitbucket org   In my case  the failure was due to using a DSA key instead of RSA  and apparently my SSH client no longer allows that      debug1  Skipping ssh-dss key  c Users USER  ssh id dsa for not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes   The solution was to add this to  ssh config   Host       PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes  ssh-dss   This elegantly appends the ssh-dss key type to all existing accepted public key types and after this was done  git can now ssh into Bitbucket no problem

In my case  I had to setup the public key for another user  as I already had one for my main user  once I switched users and performed the commands in the link above I was able to perform the setup for my test server without a problem

Type the following command using your username and repository name   git clone https   github com  user name   repo name    in Ubuntu this works perfectly

For me the problem was the execution of clone via sudo   If you clone to a directory where you have user permission    home user git  it will work fine    Explanation  Running a command as superuser will not work with the same public key as running a command as user  Therefore Github refused the connection     This solution requires a SSH key already to be set up  https   help github com articles generating-ssh-keys

My problem was that it didn t work with a passphrase on my private key   Hope that helps someone

Adding public key is the solution For generating ssh keys  https   help github com articles generating-ssh-keys  has step by step instructions   However  the problem can persist if key is not generated in the correct way  I found this to be a useful link too  https   help github com articles error-permission-denied-publickey  In my case the problem was that I was generating the ssh-key without using sudo but when using git commands I needed to use sudo  This comment in the above link  If you generate SSH keys without sudo  then when you try to use a command like sudo git push  you won t be using the SSH key you generated   helped me   So  the solution was that I had to use sudo with both key generating commands and git commands  Or for others  when they don t need sudo anywhere  do not use it in any of the two steps   key generating and git commands

I faced a similar issue when running SSH or Git Clone in Windows  Following findings helps to solve my problem    When you run    rhc setup    or other ssh methods to generate ssh key  it will create the private key file id rsa in  ssh folder in your home folder  default is C  User UserID Git for windows has its own  ssh folder in its installation directory  When you run git ssh  it will look for private key file id rsa in this folder Solved the problem by copying id rsa from the home folder  ssh folder to the  ssh folder in the git installation directory   Also  I think there  a way to    tell    git to use the default  ssh folder in home folder but still need to figure out how

after you created the RSA key pair  you must to add it to SSH using   ssh-add    ssh id rsa   or wherever you created your rsa key pair

My issue was that I was trying to give my ssh key a SPECIFIC NAME every time I entered ssh-keygen on my mac terminal    I solved the issue by just leaving the name that  ssh-keygen  generates   id rsa  You ll end up with 2 keys in your  ssh folder on a mac  id rsa  which is your private key  and the id rsa pub  which is your public key  Then I copied and saved the code from id rsa pub into my GitHub account settings  and that was it  Problem solved

I had this problem  but none of the solutions above worked  I could clone and fetch but couldn t push  Eventually  I figured out the problem was in the url in my  git config  it should be   git github com  lt username gt   lt project gt     not ssh   github com  lt username gt   lt project gt  git or https   github com  lt username gt   lt project gt  git
