Fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly while pushing to Git repository

I created a new repository called DirectorySocket, and from my project directory called DirectorySocket I did the following:

$ git init
$ git add .
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:neilghosh/DirectorySocket.git
$ git commit -m "Initial version"
$ git push origin master

And I got the following error:

ERROR: Permission to neilghosh/DirectorySocket.git denied to neilghosh/googly. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Why is it trying to push to another repository of mine on GitHub? This happens also after I deleted the .git folder and started over.

Another case in the event Google brings you here. I was trying https connection with github and it was failing every time between 50 and 95% complete upload. I took the moment to ssh-keygen and followed @manojlds link (there's another link for ssh keys at the bottom) and it worked. Slowly, but it worked. – Krista K
Another answer for Googlers: trying to pull from a path with an unescaped space in it (e.g. "/Users/rog/James James/project") will cause this. – rogueleaderr

Since it is your repository, check if the keys and token are setup properly as per the instructions provided by GitHub.

As a first step, see if 

 ssh -T [email protected]

works.

There are a couple of leads here - it is most likely an authorization issue. Have you uploaded your public key to GitHub?

What is your network situation? I get this response behind my restrictive corporate firewall - the answer there is to use the smart HTTP support now supported by GitHub.
