Why is my key w/ fingerprint not authorized when I try to push latest changes to Heroku?

Question

Before you tell me to refer to the similar questions, I've literally tried all of their answers and did my own research online (even though I am new to this). When I try to push the latest changes to Heroku with

git remote add heroku [email protected]:reviews.git

and then

git push heroku master

I get the following:

Macintosh-84:reviews dk1552$ git push heroku master
!  Your key with fingerprint 2c:4e:7b:df:02:7e:18:c8:2a:16:04:bc:59:5b:88:98
   is not authorized to access reviews.

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've set up keys, removed them, changed them, etc. All my folders/files are in Users/Dennis/...

One file I am updating for example is located in: Users/Dennis/reviews/app/views/static_pages/about_us.html.haml

What do I need to do to fix this?

Answer 1

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/9070685/664833 and run ssh-add -d then try pushing again.

Also try https://stackoverflow.com/a/8803103/664833 (create a new key-pair and add upload the public key to Heroku).

Answer 2

If you have mixed your accounts and run into this problem, an easy workaround is to invite the yourself as a collaborator under your other email to the heroku app.

Answer 3

One time this happened to me and I realized that I (having multiple Heroku accounts) used one account to initialize the Git and another to push the changes. Obviously this would create issues with your public key.

If that's the case for you either remove the .git/.gitignore directories and re-initialize with your preferred account, or sign in with the Heroku account that you used to init the Git and push the changes using that one.
