Push command not working with Git

Question

I cloned a repository with the clone command successfully. BUT, I tried to push after commit and I get this error.

$ git push [email protected]:taraloca/QuitIt.git Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Any ideas?

If it's a public repo, anyone can clone, however a key is required to push. This key provides authentication, and tells Github that you are allowed to push to that repo.

Yep, the error message Permission denied (publickey) is indicating that you don't have your authentication key configured correctly (or not at all).
