fatal : Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I am getting this issue on trying to push my code for the first time from local to github repository. Please help me to eradicate this issue.

I followed all the ssh steps. Generate, Add, Eval, profile settings(add ssh) in github. Then init git, add, commit, add remote origin and push. push is not working.

Please post the full command and error message (you can censor private repository names etc.), otherwise it's impossible to answer.

In general, you can use ssh -vT git@github.com to debug the SSH layer.

[RookieRascal]

thank you so much bro

[pampa89d]

I had the same error. In my case the problem was that I used "sudo git clone" instead "git clone".

[grinapo]

And for me that one of my ssh keys was used in a test account of mine, and github "guess" the username from key. ☹️

[glimmbo]

My context: my frontend dev container was not auth'd, but my backend one was. This command itself solved the problem for me. 👍

@Praveenab131 maybe you should create a new repository on github? Because there are no repositories in your profile
after that use
git remote add origin git@github.Praveenab131/new_repo

git push -u origin main

@Praveenab131

The repository exists but not under my name

If this is not your repository, you should make fork, after that clone fork and set remote link on this fork.
Sorry if I understand you not right

[kurnakovv]

You can also try to create public repository for test and check ssh work.

[Praveenab131]

I troed to Fork but that also giving same issue “Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.” I should not use public repo.

are you sure what you use correct remote reference? This reference must contain your name and fork repository name:
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:Praveenab131/your_fork_repository_name.git

Hi there,

I'm trying to push code to my remote repo but facing an error
"ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

I have previously change my OS window after I have generate my ssh key but now when I do git push -u I get an error.

Help me

[louiewh]

I also happen to this error

[mhromyk]

here is what is left for you.
You need to create repository on github via github web UI.
I had the same issue till the time I created it via web page then do what you did before. It should work.

[SharipovHuseyn]

I have the same problem too (

[NellyJazminPC]

I have been trying everything and it worked until I disconnected my VPN, I forgot I had it on. I disconnected it and tried "push" and all fine. 🙌

[MarinaSergeyeva]

You saved me with this comment! Thank you from all my heart 😂

[tarun9689-sharma]

Hi I'm getting the below error

ERROR: Write access to repository not granted.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

i've the access and required things but suddenly getting this

[Nixjoyer]

Hey, I'm also getting the same error yet I confirmed that the repo is created and public.

ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

What I don't understand is that I pushed my local repo, yesterday as of writing, via SSH without any problems.

[GeorgeLMaluf0579]

Hi. I face the same error. But I discover a way to work.
In my case was because the ssh key files was not named like the standard.
I create a file name config inside on my local .ssh directory.
Here is the basic contents:

HostName github.com
   HostName github.com
   IdentityFile _filename_of_private_filekey_ 
   IdentitiesOnly true

[Nixjoyer]

Thanks for the reply but I fixed my error. I found out that the generated SSH key is different for both the super user and the local user and the repos I was trying to create had a mix of non-sudo and sudo commands since they were for NixOS configurations which are only accessible if your a super user.

The commands for its setup aren't meant to be run as sudo but being they were configuration files, I had to run them as sudo.

Long story short, each user has a different SSH key so make sure to create and add both keys.
