Fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly while pushing to Git repository

Question

I created a new repository called DirectorySocket, and from my project directory called DirectorySocket I did the following:

$ git init
$ git add .
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:neilghosh/DirectorySocket.git
$ git commit -m "Initial version"
$ git push origin master

And I got the following error:

ERROR: Permission to neilghosh/DirectorySocket.git denied to neilghosh/googly. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Why is it trying to push to another repository of mine on GitHub? This happens also after I deleted the .git folder and started over.

Answer 1

There are a couple of leads here - it is most likely an authorization issue. Have you uploaded your public key to GitHub?

What is your network situation? I get this response behind my restrictive corporate firewall - the answer there is to use the smart HTTP support now supported by GitHub.

Answer 3

Since it is your repository, check if the keys and token are setup properly as per the instructions provided by GitHub.

As a first step, see if

 ssh -T git@github.com

works.
