Heroku Deploying error

After inputting git push heroku master in the terminal I get the following error:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Then I inputted heroku keys:add in the terminal and I get this response:

myname-MacBook-Pro:treebook myname$ heroku keys:add
Found existing public key: /Users/myname/.ssh/github_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key /Users/myname/.ssh/github_rsa.pub... done

Then I try git push heroku master and then I get this response:

myname-MacBook-Pro:treebook myname$ git push heroku master
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
myname-MacBook-Pro:treebook myname$

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Ian

Hey Ian Warner I'm not 100% sure but did you add your key to the current session? If not try doing the following:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/github_rsa

Hey Jason & James, Thanks for the tip it worked by doing the following steps in terminal: 

ssh-keygen -t rsa

then 

heroku keys:add

then choosing option 2 below:

Found the following SSH public keys:
1) github_rsa.pub
2) id_rsa.pub

Then 

git push heroku master

and it worked! :)

Thanks for your help guys!

Ian
