title: GitHub: ERROR: Repository not found. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly (different from similar posts apparently)
body: <p>I created a directory, <code>hello_git</code>. In this directory I created a file, <code>hello_git.py</code>, which prints out a "Hello git!" message.</p>
  
  <p>Then I made <code>hello_git</code> my current directory in the terminal and entered the following commands one after another in that directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git init
  git add hello_git.py
  git commit -m 'first commit'
  git remote add origin git@github.com:githubaccountname/hello_git.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I enter the command <code>git push origin master</code> I get asked:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Enter passphrase for key '/home/myusername/.ssh/id_rsa':
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I enter my passphrase (which authenticates successfully using <code>ssh -T git@github.com</code>) I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: Repository not found.
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know if this helps, but:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git remote -v
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>origin    git@github.com:githubaccountname/hello_git.git (fetch)
  origin    git@github.com:githubaccountname/hello_git.git (push)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have looked into answers of similar posts, but nothing seems to work:</p>
