Had SSH key in repo, moved to personal and can't push

[Burt Gordon]

I have seen similar problems, but not the same and none of the other post answers helped. Here's the situation:

* I accidentally added SSH access keys to a repo and not personal settings

* pulled a branch and created a branch from it, did some work

* Tried to push changes on new branch and got access errors, realizing that I had put the SSH keys in the repo

* Removed SSH key from repo and put them in personal settings

* Tried to push new branch to remote using "git push -u origin <new_branch_name>"

* Getting the following error:

<code>

The requested repository either does not exist or you do not have access. If you believe this repository exists and you have access, make sure you're authenticated.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

</code>

I can create a branch via the web browser (did a separate test branch), so i know I have the right permissions. I also used a command with ssh -vvv to see that it was using the proper key, which it was. So, it looks like I may have created a branch locally using a repo ssh key and now that I removed that key and added to my person settings I cannot upload the work to the repo. How do I recover the work and upload the branch given these circumstances?

Ahhh, I figured it out. I did have the right key but in the wrong account. I have two bitbucket accounts and accidentally added the key to the wrong account. I removed it from there and put it in the right one. The push then works and branch was properly created on the remote repo.
