Hi lut! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
The Github article https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/ says that "Shell access" should not be an issue? What could the problem be?
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
Try and redefine the ssh url for remote origin:
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:lut/EvolutionApp.git
And try again.
Only git remote set-url can change an existing remote URL (as opposed to git remote add, to add a new remote name and URL)
Here, the issue was the URL of the existing remote 'origin', EvolutionApp: it needed to be replaced by a valid one.
Using git config url."ssh://[email protected]/".insteadOf https://github.com/ would not have helped, considering there was no HTTPS URL in the first place.
Solution 2 - Git
You can add this in the ~/.gitconfig file.
[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/
Now ssh will be used instead of https.
Solution 3 - Git
You might have to add the remote again. That error message happens when Git doesn't know where to push to.
Use git remote -v check if the remote exists, if not, add it.
Even then if it doesn't work try removing the GIT_SSH environment variable, this maybe causing the problem.
Solution 4 - Git
This can happen if you have an incomplete remote entry in your global config.
Run git config -e --system, comment out any [remote entries, re-add the remote, and try again.
Solution 5 - Git
check if you are using https as remote url instead of ssh.
I set my remote url to http and encountered this issue. After resetting the url to ssh protocol the problem is gone.
Solution 6 - Git
if there is trust issue for android studio or vs code project in git You can give safe permissions like below , with your project path in Ubuntu
git config --global --add safe.directory '_your_project_path'
git config --global --add safe.directory '/data/project/project/MyApp/android_app'
