Github Permission Denied

Question

Banging my head on this github multiple user thing and hoping I can get some help!

I just added a new email to my existing github account, changed my git configs locally to the right name and email, and added the ssh key to github but when I try to push my new project I created it says permission denied. I have the right repo set up for my origin too.

What's confusing me is when I do ssh -T git@github.com it says you've successfully authenticated with my other user...

I know I'm missing something so if you see it please let me know!

Thanks

A full ssh url will work:

ssh://git@github.com/User/repo.git

But here, you might be using an scp-like syntax, like the question you mention:

github.com:User/repo.git

You risk using an entry "github.com" entry in a $HOME/.ssh/config file, which can then specify explicitly a different private key, as shown here.

Host github.com
   Hostname github.com
   User git
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myprivatekey
