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

I would like to add some of my findings:

If you are using GitBash, then make sure the SSH key is stored in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

By Default GitBash searches for ~/.ssh/id_rsaas default path for SSH key.

Even the file name id_rsa matters. If you save your SSH key in another filename or path, it will throw the Permission Denied(publickey)error.
