Fixing GitHub Permission Denied Errors When Pushing a Repo

## The Problem I tried pushing my project and got this error:  ## What I Tried – Attempted push using HTTPS (even though I normally use SSH) – Creating a personal access token in GitHub – Clearing credentials in my Terminal None of these worked. ## What Actually Worked Switching from HTTPS to SSH. Steps: 1. Verified the SSH key existed in Terminal 2. Confirmed existing SSH key was already added to GitHub (no need to generate a new one) 3. Changed remote to SSH 4. Tested connection with `ssh -T git@github.com` 5. Pushed successfully After switching to SSH, the push finally worked:  ## Key Takeaways – GitHub no longer accepts passwords – SSH is more reliable than HTTPS – Credential caching can cause confusing errors ## Notes During my initial commit, I missed that the repo displayed the HTTPS URL instead of the usual SSH one. I copied the provided terminal commands rather than using my usual ones. I haven’t created repos in a while, so I just followed the instructions as provided without thinking too much about it. When I first learned GitHub basics, the initial course taught me to use SSH first before HTTPS URL. It took a few attempts to fix, but I’m glad the solution turned out to be relatively simple.
