Answer 1

Please note that GitHub does not provide shell access.

You need to update your puplic key on github so that you can push. Please follow steps:

you an test your key/ssh connection as mentioned here

Answer 2

Check if your ssh public key has been copied as one line: It is easy to copy it in multiple lines in the GitHub ssh field.

If is only if your public key is correctly copied and imported on GitHub that /Users/seeker/.ssh/id_rsa(.pub) will work (if your ssh directory is properly protected).

Connecting to github.com [0.0.62.138] port 22.

The GitHub page clearly mentions:

# debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/you/.ssh/config
# debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
# debug1: Applying options for *
# debug1: Connecting to github.com [207.97.227.239] port 22.

The connection should be to 207.97.227.239 on port 22, unless you're overriding settings to use SSH over HTTPS.

Plus make sure you are using / declaring the git user in your config file. Remove your ~/.ssh/config file, and try a:

 ssh -vT [e-mail]

Answer 3

You haven't specified which user you'd like to authenticate as. When authenticating to GitHub, the user should always be git — not your individual username.

Try ssh -vT [e-mail] .
