title: Cannot access remote git repository
body: <p>I created a git repo via the github website's "new button".  Then I used git bash to set up my local repo and tried to pull my remote repo (it had the default README) but got an "access denied error", the same one seen in this question: 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13674647/cannot-push-to-git-repository-permission-denied">Cannot push to git repository - permission denied</a></p>
  
  <p>I followed <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#platform-windows" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#platform-windows</a>, even reopened a new git bash session but I still get access errors on my remote repo.  I <code>chmod 777</code> on my local repo so it's not a local problem either.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><code>https://github.com/new</code> to create my new remote repo.</li>
  <li>Opened git bash on my win7 computer and executed the following commands:
  
  <ol>
  <li><code>git init</code> in project directory</li>
  <li><code>git add .</code> to recursively add all project files</li>
  <li><code>git commit -am "commit message"</code></li>
  <li><code>git remote add origin https://...</code> produces "fatal: remote origin already exists".</li>
  <li><code>git pull origin master</code> produces access denied error.  I tried step 4 first with ssh, now I'm trying to use https.</li>
  </ol></li>
