Github push error. Permission denied

gitgithub

I am just trying to create my first repo from Ubuntu 11.10 with this command:

I was about to finish sudo git push -u origin master

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

How can this be fixed?

I tried this too. i.e git push -u origin master. I got this error.

error: could not lock config file .git/config: Permission denied
error: could not lock config file .git/config:
Permission denied
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
error: unable to create directory for .git/refs/remotes/origin/master
error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/remotes/origin/master'.
Everything up-to-date

Could this be of any help?

Did you forget to add your public key to the github project settings? Also check to make sure your private key is in your .ssh directory.

Goto https://github.com/[username here]/[project name here]/edit and make sure your public key is set.

Git – How to push a new local branch to a remote Git repository and track it too

In Git 1.7.0 and later, you can checkout a new branch:

git checkout -b <branch>

Edit files, add and commit. Then push with the -u (short for --set-upstream) option:

git push -u origin <branch>

Git will set up the tracking information during the push.

First, what is the result of git branch -a on machine B?

Second, you have already deleted heads/devel on origin, so that's why you can't delete it from machine B.

Try

git branch -r -d origin/devel

git remote prune origin

git fetch origin --prune

and feel free to add --dry-run to the end of your git statement to see the result of running it without actually running it.
