GitHub: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Question

I have followed these instructions below to upload a project.

Global setup:

 Download and install Git

  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

  git config --global user.email [email protected]

  Add your public key

Next steps:

  mkdir chandrarfio

  cd chandrarfio

  git init

  touch README

  git add README

  git commit -m 'first commit'

  git remote add origin [email protected]:chandra/devops.git

  git push origin master

But I get this error:

Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Answer 1

For this, if you have the user permission then it works fine but if you don’t have the user permission then you need to add an ssh key to github:

For adding an ssh key to github refer: https://help.github.com/en/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account 

Then after configuring that your code runs fine without any error.
