I have already added the remote origin $ git remote add origin git@github.com:Rizwan-Ahmed-Surhio/my_really_cool_project.git
Error:
Rizwan@Rizwan-PC MINGW64 ~/github/my_really_cool_project (master) $ git push -u origin master git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

16,529 PointsYou must do this steps in console from your project folder:
- git init
- git add <your file>
- git commit -m "first commit"
- git remote add origin https://github.com/<your github nick>/<your repo>.git
- git push -u origin master
I checked this GitHub instruction on my public repository and it works well.
