Can't connect app to github

I followed a tutorial and set up an app on PythonAnywhere. Now I want to link the app to git hub, but it turns out surprisingly hard. So I need help.

I followed the instructions here, got things all set up in GitHub, but still got this error message:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Yes, the repo exisits and git add remote has been done (and checked). Any tips?

Is public you configured in your GitHub accoount settings the same as contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from your PythonAnywhere account?

I guess your question is "Did I copy and paste the public key from PythonAnywhere into my GitHub SSH key area?" -- The answer is yes. I followed instructions from a previous post here (see link in my original post).

Never mind--I figured it out. SSH is for paid accounts and mine isn't.
