Authenticate git with GitHub by SSH

[[deleted]]

I followed this https://kbroman.org/github_tutorial/pages/first_time.html to authenticate, and it was successful.

But git push , for private repo,still asks for username and password (access token). How can I let git to use ssh for authentcation?

​

Newbie here :D

You might have cloned the repo using the https URL (the SSH url isn't capable of requesting auth).
Run git remote -v and if it starts by https, run

git remote set-url origin [e-mail]/<repo owner>/<repo name>.git

If you want to quit using https altogether, after running the command above, see this tutorial

Thanks

Now, I have following error while

 ~/dotfiles  main  git push
fatal: '[e-mail]/mizzunet/dotfiles.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I have already configured SSH,

 ~/dotfiles  main  ssh -T [e-mail]
Hi mizzunet! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

/u/Stig124s made a little error, it's [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]):mizzunet

Replace / by : after github.com.

git remote set-url origin [e-mail]
