That means that the server does not like your public key, typically
because it does not match a keypair that has been uploaded. This is a
GitHub issue, not a Git issue.

Double-check that your key is listed at:

  https://github.com/settings/ssh

and add it there if necessary. If it is still not working, then contact
GitHub support (support@github.com).
