I have a working branch in my Mac names database and I would like to push this branch to GitHub and have tried to do this by running:

git push -u origin database

And get the following error message:

You can't push to git://github.com/Paratron/spacebattles.git
Use git@github.com:Paratron/spacebattles.git

Are there known issues that could be the cause for this?
Are there any likely errors I could be doing that results in this error?

    Like it says, you can’t push to git://github.com/Paratron/spacebattles.git (because it’s a read-only URL). Try this:

    git remote set-url origin git@github.com:Paratron/spacebattles.git
git push -u origin database

    If you haven’t ever used git in this way, you need to set it up to work with GitHub first: http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/

    Also, are you Paratron? If not, you’ll need to fork his repository first: http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/. Then you’ll need to use your username instead (git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/spacebattles.git).
