Git push origin Permission to * denied fatal: Could not read from remote repository

Question

So I have my public ssh key added to the git repo. I have the private key added to my /c/Users/totty/.ssh/.

When I run ssh -vT [email protected] it says Hi X! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

When I run git push origin I get Permission to * denied fatal: Could not read from remote repository

What is wrong with this github? I can't push from cmd, git extensions. But it works from github from windows...

After I remove my ssh keys and run ssh -vT [email protected] I get debug1: No more authentication methods to try..

Also another thing that is strange... if you look at the circled text, that's not my username or email anywhere. I even check in my git config and is nowhere. Where is coming from? I mean gs11118

Answer 1

First, the username/email (the one you set with git config user.name / user.email) has nothing to do with GitHub credentials (a user GitHub account name)

Second, make sure your git push is actually using an SSH URL:

cd /path/to/my/local/repo
git remote -v

If you see an URL staring with https://..., it won't matter that ssh -T [email protected] does identifies you correctly: Git would not use that as credentials. It would use what is stored in the Windows Credentials Manager.
