I am using Git GUI (or Git CMD) for Windows 10, and have previously pushed a git repository to my GitHub account. That is, I have an SSH key associated with my Git account. Today I am unable to push new changes to that same repository. I receive the error:

Pushing to [email protected]:[username]/[project_name].git
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

Does `ssh [email protected]` from Git Bash produce a message like "Hi ! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access." – rlee827 Oct 23 '17 at 22:41

No, `ssh [email protected]` produces the message "[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)." – Andy Oct 23 '17 at 23:11
Then you did not register your public key correctly. Do that again. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Oct 24 '17 at 02:16
You are right. Deleting my SSH key on GitHub and re-adding it did the trick. – Andy Oct 24 '17 at 15:20
However, it appears that I have to delete and re-add the SSH key every day. Why would that be? – Andy Oct 25 '17 at 15:42
