Question

GIT: I'm trying to push a file to a repo of a friend but errors on public key.

git push origin testbranch
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Where and how do we define public / private keys?

git remote -v returns:

origin  git@github.com:Sesamzaad/NET.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:Sesamzaad/NET.git (push)

any help is appreciated.

You probably have to add your public key to github. https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

Came across this question quite late but I was facing same problem. Here is what I did that worked for me.

Use ssh instead of http. Remove origin if its http.

git remote rm origin

Add ssh url

git remote add origin git@github.com:<username>/<repo>.git

Generate ssh key inside .ssh/ folder. It will ask for path and passphrase where you can just press enter and proceed.

cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen

Copy the key. You can view your key using. If you hadn't specified a different path then this is the default one.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Add this key to your github account. Next do

ssh -T git@github.com

You will get a welcome message in your console.

cd into to your project folder. git push -u origin master now works!

I just had to deal with this issue. @user3445140's answer helped me, but was much more than I needed to do.

1. cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
2. copy the key, beginning with "ssh-rsa" but *excluding your computer name at the end*
3. Go to: https://github.com/settings/ssh
4. Add your SSH key
