I am trying to push a project (Calico) to GitHub, and am running into an error. I’ve successfully logged in via a ssh connection, and received the usual response:

Ryan@RYANLAPTOP-PC /C/inetpub/wwwroot/Calico (master)
$ ssh git@github.com
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/Ryan/.ssh/id_rsa':
Hi rossryan! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shel
l access.
Connection to github.com closed.

However, I am still receiving an error when I attempt to push the code:

Ryan@RYANLAPTOP-PC /C/inetpub/wwwroot/Calico (master)
$ git push -u github master
The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You

Connection abandoned.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I believe I’ve followed the instructions rather faithfully from the website, substituting ‘GitHub’ for ‘origin’ in the right areas (origin is apparently already defined, so I used a different name). I’ve emailed GitHub about this problem, but have received no response.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

EDIT:

Output from git remote -v:

Ryan@RYANLAPTOP-PC /C/inetpub/wwwroot/Calico (master)
$ git remote -v
github  git@github.com:rossryan/Calico.git (fetch)
github  git@github.com:rossryan/Calico.git (push)
origin  C:/inetpub/wwwroot/Calico/ (fetch)
origin  C:/inetpub/wwwroot/Calico/ (push)

    git push origin master fails was about that error when using putty (instead of the packaged openssh included with msysgit). I don’t think that is your case.

    git – Server host key not cached is about that same error, and proposes to establish an ssh connection, which you did (and it didn’t propose to add github to your $HOME/ssh/known_hosts file, so this isn’t the issue either.

    What you need to check is:

    • why are you pushing to github instead of the default name ‘origin‘ (did you really add a remote (upstream) repo named ‘github’?)
    • What exact address is behind the remote name ‘github’. A right address for pushing would be (from GitHub man page on remote):
      • an ssh URL git@github.com:user/repo.git
      • or an https URL such like https://user@github.com/user/repo.git
