GitHub Error Message - Permission denied (publickey)

Question

Anybody seen this error and know what to do?

I\'m using the terminal, I\'m in the root, the GitHub repository exists and I don\'t know what to do now.

Answer 1

This happened to me. For some reason my origin got messed up without my realizing it:

Check if your settings are still correct

git remote -v

the url needs to be something like ssh://git@github.com/YourDirectory/YourProject.git; if you don't see git@github.com, use

git remote set-url origin git://github.com/YourDirectory/YourProject.git

to set it right. Or you could use the github app to check and set the Primary Remote Repository url in the settings panel of your particular repository.
