I have created SSH key linked to github. I am trying to remotely push a file to the created repository
these are my code
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/demo_repo2.git
git push -u origin main
But it is giving me error as :
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
I have checked whether ssh key is linked , and it is. It is even giving
git remote -v
origin git@github.com:user/repo2.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:user/repo2.git (push)
I tried almost all answers , but not working . Please someone help me
It should not give you this error, since you have set an HTTPS URL with:
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/demo_repo2.git
Check git config -l for any url."git@github.com:".insteadOf https://github.com/ directive.
If git remote -v does give you an SSH URL, that means the first git remote add origin must have failed.
You can force an HTTPS URL with:
cd /path/to/my/repo
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/demo_repo2.git
