git push heroku master fails in heroku

Question

I am starting out with heroku and am following the getting to start with heroku tutorial. I am on windows 7 and am using Windows powershell as the command line.

The commands that I am using are

git clone git://github.com/heroku/ruby-sample.git
cd ruby-sample
heroku login
heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku open

The directory was cloned and after heroku login I got Authentication successful. in the command line. After heroku create I got

Creating immense-lowlands-8694... done, stack is cedar
http://immense-lowlands-8694.herokuapp.com/ | git@heroku.com:immense-lowlands-8694.git
Git remote heroku added

so the app was added to my heroku account. But there was problem with git push heroku master. I got

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

What I have tried so far

• This question said about adding keys but it is for Linux and didn't work for Windows 7.
• I used heroku keys and it says that there is a key present for my e-mail ID.
• As this answer says I tried heroku keys:add and got

this

Found existing public key: C:/Users/Aseem/.ssh/github_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key C:/Users/Aseem/.ssh/github_rsa.pub... done

but after that the error didn't end.

• I tried what this answer says but ssh-keygen wasn't recognized so I guess it's for linux.
• I tried removing using heroku keys:remove KEY_NAME and then heroku login to login again but that didn't take care of the error either.

What can I do to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Installed MSysGit instead of git. Added the C:\Program Files(x86)\Git\bin directory to the PATH variable and then doing what this answer says solved the problem.
