Assuming you already have a public and a private key to use in your ~/.ssh folder, there might be two different scenarios:

  • You didn't upload your public key to Heroku's remote server. Solution, execute: heroku keys:add ~/.ssh/your_public_key

  • Or you did, but you don't have your identities loaded into your SSH authentication agent. Solution, execute:

    ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/your_private_key # OSX

    ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/your_private_key # Ubuntu

and enter your passphrase, so you can use your private key.

In case others are facing the same problem: using standalone toolbelt on fedora 16-17 with rmv 1.17.3 and system ruby 1.9.3p392, just clearing heroku keys and credentials was not sufficient, and I tested that the issue was not with my ssh keychain. If anyone has faced similar issues, and is more familiar with the heroku toolbelt, I posted a new issue here.

$ heroku keys:clear
Removing all SSH keys... done
$ heroku login

after clearing all previous ssh. heroku login's uploads back my ssh public key and i can happily git push heroku master back

The problem which i face was setting the ssh environment variable.

SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0

heroku keys

will show the keys, remove and then login, it will create one for you and add to your app. Or you can create your rsa key with your email and then use it using

heroku keys:add /path

Generate key using ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

It turned out that

heroku keys:add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

worked.
