git push says,

  fatal: protocol error: expected sha/ref, got '
  *********'
  
  You can't push to git://github.com/user/repo.git
  Use git@github.com:user/repo.git
  
  *********'

I don't know why. The config files for my clone of that repository and my clone of the nex3 arc repo appear to be equivalent, although I've never tried pushing to that one (someone who has pushed, please see if your results are different).

I looked in .git/refs/remotes/origin, and the files seemed pretty similar too.

After seeing the message, I tried

  git push git@github.com:cchooper/publictest

but that failed with

  ERROR: Permission to cchooper/publictest denied to noahl.
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I don't know what's going on now. Anyone else? (If you have time, someone please check the github docs too.)

The first issue happens with Anarki too. The default address is read-only.

The second one: could be a setup issue. To push to github you need an account with an SSH key set up, and SSH needs to be configured to associate that key with github.com.

Thanks for trying.
