I created a directory, hello_git. In this directory I created a file, hello_git.py, which prints out a “Hello git!” message.

Then I made hello_git my current directory in the terminal and entered the following commands one after another in that directory:

git init
git add hello_git.py
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin git@github.com:githubaccountname/hello_git.git

When I enter the command git push origin master I get asked:

Enter passphrase for key '/home/myusername/.ssh/id_rsa':

When I enter my passphrase (which authenticates successfully using ssh -T git@github.com) I get this:

ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I don’t know if this helps, but:

git remote -v

returns:

origin    git@github.com:githubaccountname/hello_git.git (fetch)
origin    git@github.com:githubaccountname/hello_git.git (push)

I have looked into answers of similar posts, but nothing seems to work:

    The error message says it all

    ERROR: Repository not found.

    Is there a Git repository where you’re looking?

    You need to create the repository on GitHub first. It can’t find the repository because it doesn’t exist yet!
