I am getting below error while creating app and deploying in heroku using below command

sudo git push heroku master

Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. I tried all the possible scenarios creating new ssh key , giving admin rights to folder, deleting git remote for heroku and adding it again etc Steps followed by me: 1) git init
2) git add .
3) git commit -m "Initial Commit"
4) heroku login
5) heroku create
6) sudo git push heroku master
Usually when we create new heroku project using "heroku create" it will create new project and that heroku URL is set as heroku GIT remote URL, but that also not happening everytime i am doing it manually.
May be this also due to that same issue i guess...
Below is my detailed error
ponvino@ponvino-desktop:~/RubyWorkspace/prod/theScholarsPage$ sudo mv ~/.ssh/ /.ssh_backup ponvino@ponvino-desktop:~/RubyWorkspace/prod/theScholarsPage$ heroku keys:add
Could not find an existing public key.

Reset to default

Check that your ssh key is loaded:

ssh-add -l

If not: 

ssh-add ~/.ssh/your_private_key

Try again to push to heroku

Yes it is already loaded . ssh-add -l is returning my SSH keys. Thanks
Finally this is the right answer.. I first tried ssh-add -l it returned my keys so i didn't tried your second step but atlast it only helped me Thank you very much
you welcome. If you need more information on ssh-add command, look here developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/…

You should generate pair of keys and add your public key to your heroku account. More info: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/keys

ssh-keygen -t rsa

and then:

heroku keys:add

should be enough.

It is creating new SSH key and uploading it properly but again i am getting same error... Thanks
interesting. did you run git with sudo? can you post the full output?
posted full output in main post... i even tried git with sudo but not working ... Thanks
you should never use git sudo. Further, also post the output of git remote -v & heroku login? lastly, also post the output of heroku apps, does it contain your app name?
Hi, I got solution from this, Thanks for your help...After adding SSH identity it is working.. ripan27.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/… Thanks
