Git not pushing to Heroku (Permission Denied (publickey))

I'm trying to push my treebook app into heroku but I get the permission denied error even though I have typed "heroku keys:add"

The response is this:

Found existing public key: /Users/ureyes/.ssh/github_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key /Users/ureyes/.ssh/github_rsa.pub... done

However, after doing that typing 'git push heroku master' gives me this error:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname heroku.com: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

You can run

heroku keys

to see a list of all your heroku keys.

Then you can do

heroku keys:remove adam@workstation.local (replace adam@workstation.local with whatever one of your keys is named)

You can remove all your keys.

Then make sure to

heroku login

before you start.

Once logged in, try

ssh-keygen -t rsa

to generate a new key.
