I am trying to clone a locally existing repo to github. They suggest doing this:

$ git remote add origin git@github.com:Retr0MrWave/MathTiles.git
$ git push -u origin master

but when I try to do this an error pops up (after the second command):

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.

Is there a way to fix this?

    I'm assuming the repo is private as when I try to access https://github.com/Retr0MrWave/MathTiles I get a 404. – evolutionxbox Feb 13 '20 at 16:15

It looks to me like your credentials for GitHub aren't configured correctly. Have you followed this guide Creating a personal access token for the command line?

try verify remote repository 

$ git remote -v

before push existing repo.
