Git : fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists

Question

I am getting this error -

D:\Projects\wamp\www\REPO [master]> git pull origin master Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.252.128' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. ERROR: Repository not found. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.  Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. 

The output of git remote -v

D:\Projects\wamp\www\REPO [master]> git remote -v origin  [email protected]:username/repo.git (fetch) origin  [email protected]:username/repo.git (push) 

Final message of ssh -Tv [email protected] command -

Hi [My Username]! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. 

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

change your ssh url by an http url for your remote 'origin', use:

> git remote set-url origin https://github.com/<user_name>/<repo_name>.git 

It will ask for your GitHub password on the git push.

Answer 2

I asked in the discussion:

does ssh -T [email protected] ouput the same username (in Hi [My Username]!) as in the one used for the ssh url of your repo ([email protected]:username/repo.git)?

Sorry It not showing same name

That means somehow the credentials have changed.

One solution would be to at least copy %HOME%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub in the SSH keys section of the right GitHub account

The OP adds:

I am working on private repo. So In [email protected]:username/repo.git,

I replied:

If you were able to clone/push to that repo whose username is not your own GitHub account, that must be because you had your previous public ssh key added as a contributor to that repo by the repo's owner.

What next is to ask that same repo owner to add your current public ssh key %HOME%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub to the repo contributor list.
So check with the owner that you (meaning your public ssh key) are declared as a contributor.
