-2

after coding up a javascript project, I wrote

git push -u origin main

however it gives me back:

ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Undefined error: 0
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

pic to describe it

    These are the instructions for SSH. Have you uploaded an SSH key to GitHub? https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh – Jake Worth Jun 09 '21 at 20:40
  • yes thank you it worked! – Yefim Blokh Jun 09 '21 at 20:44
  • Have you add the *remote-url* from the git repository? Before `git push`, add the url with `git remote add origin https://github.com/user-name/repo-name.git`. – SwissCodeMen Jun 09 '21 at 20:46
  • Side note: that error message, `Undefined error: 0` is terrible. Apparently the Mac version of ssh needs a bit of work. (Which macOS are you running?) – torek Jun 10 '21 at 01:59

When connecting to GitHub via SSH, ensure that you have uploaded an SSH key to GitHub. This article explains the process.
