github

I'm not sure how I did it but I seem to have screwed up my github interaction with pythonanywhere.

I'd like to just start over but I don't particularly want to make a new account.

github has my current projects all set, I just need to start over on pythonanywhere.

Can anyone help me do this? I'm new to programming.

What errors do you get when you try to connect to github?

Thanks for the reply, here is the error that I get.

12:23 ~/learningpython $ git clone git@github.com:Arkitan/learningpython.git
Cloning into 'learningpython'... Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

Looks like you've broken the key authentication with github. That could happen because you changed keys on PythonAnywhere and didn't update your github keys or because you removed a key on github.

Is there a fix? I just want to delete my git stuff from pythonanywhere and do a new clone from github, but I can't seem to figure out what to do.

There's help on github that may point you in the right direction.

But is it possible to just delete everything on python anywhere and start over?

You can delete everything, but if you don't know what you're doing, you're much more likely to make a mess than if you work at understanding what's wrong and fixing it.

Ok, thanks for the info.
