Hi,

I am not able to push my feature branch using Git. I cloned using SSH and SSH key is also added.

arup@linux-wzza:~/Ruby/yzz> git status
# On branch posward
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       lib/yzz/posward_side.rb
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
arup@linux-wzza:~/Ruby/yzz> git add lib/yzz/posward_side.rb
arup@linux-wzza:~/Ruby/yzz> git status
# On branch posward
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#       new file:   lib/yzz/posward_side.rb
#
arup@linux-wzza:~/Ruby/yzz> git commit -m "Yzz::Side is now refactord into 2 
classes, one of which is Yzz::PoswardSide."
[posward a31be0c] Yzz::Side is now refactord into 2 classes, one of which is 
Yzz::PoswardSide.

Can anyone tell me what is the problem ?

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, 
if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not 
smart enough to debug it.

It looks like you are pushing to GitHub here. You are fetching from user boris-s, but you do not have write permission to push to his repository.

If boris-s is somebody you are working with and he would like to use a shared repository workflow with you, ask him to follow this guide:

  https://help.github.com/articles/adding-collaborators-to-a-personal-repository

However, the normal workflow for most open-source projects is to make your own fork with your changes, and then send a pull request to boris-s. You can follow this guide:
