I had no problem on my Ubuntu but now that I have switched to OSX I have encountered this problem. I followed some of the solutions in the web but none helped. 

monas-mbp:nlp mona$ git push origin master Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Please let me know if more details should be revealed for help.

    Well: Have you checked whether you have the correct access rights and the repository exists? Also: help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 1:05

    and how did you originally set up the repo on your mbp? "git clone" or "git pull"? The error says "publickey". Is your private key on your MacBook Pro somewhere (keychain or the id_rsa/id_dsa files)? Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 1:06
  • @PeeHaa Thanks for your help. it worked. Should I delete this post or would you please write that as an answer? Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 1:12
  • @MichaelDautermann There wasn't a need for that step but thanks for your offer of help. Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 1:12

I couldn't find a suitable dupe. I must say lack of sleep doesn't help my SO search fu at the moment so posting my comment as an answer.

The basic steps to solve it are:

  1. generate ssh key on the server / machine
  2. Add the key under your profile on github
  3. ?
  4. profit!
