Hi.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Please recommend.

It seems the problem might be using git under root:

to mrtortong :
use this
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/

then get your generated key ( start with ssh-rsa or other type )
go to your git user panel -> SSH & GPG Keys --> New SSH key -> paste your key ( fill title with any ) then press Add SSH key

Will Fix.

good luck.

my solution was
Generate SSH key using ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com".
Copy the output of cat id_rsa.pub
Paste the above copied outpur into your Github profile -> Settings -> SSH and GPG Keys -> Add new SSH key

(For the sake of share) I did what @Gwennyphar said +

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/<YOUR_GENERATED_RSA_FILE>

I found this article : https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/#adding-your-ssh-key-to-the-ssh-agent

When you're facing this little fellow Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
Go here Start Agent for the bash (Stackoverflow)
I had to do as the ssh agent was not found but running!
