Question

I recently set up a github account to store the source code of a project I have been working on.

I am using egit eclipse plugin to push changes to <

Answer 1

I experienced the same issue. Resolution follows:

• Delete origin push and fetch in remote(Eclipse view --> Git repositories).
• Close Eclipse.
• Go to .ssh folder(Users/.ssh) and delete the key files(public and private).
• Start eclipse and regenerate the keys(Window --> Preferences --> General tab --> Network connections --> SSH2).
• Copy the key and add it to github/SSH Keys
• In Eclipse add new remote and push.

Edit You may not need to delete all the key files. If you have already added a key file previously (perhaps while setting up native Git), you can just add the name of that file in list of keys, and it will work.
