In my machine, I usually push code to my personal Github account. There, the username is jobyjoseph
. Today, I created a new account. I was trying to push code to that account using SSH. It was not working because Git for some reasons was detecting jobyjoseph
, not the new account. I tried git config
value updates. That also did not work.
The error looked like this:
ERROR: Permission to backbenchercode/React-Query-Intro.git denied to jobyjoseph.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Finally, following steps worked. Take terminal. Then clear the SSH key links using:
ssh-add -D
Next attach the ssh key of the new account:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bb
Thats it. After these steps, I could push my code to the new account.
