How to Push to RootlessNet/protocol

You're getting permission denied because GitHub needs to verify you own the RootlessNet organization.

Quick Fix - Use GitHub CLI (Recommended)

1. Install GitHub CLI (if not already installed):

   # On Arch Linux
   sudo pacman -S github-cli

2. Authenticate with GitHub:

   gh auth login

   • Select: GitHub.com
   • Select: HTTPS
   • Authenticate with your browser

3. Push the code:

   cd /home/aaryan/Projects/RootlessNet
   git push origin main

Alternative - Use Personal Access Token

1. Create a Personal Access Token:

   • Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens
   • Click "Generate new token (classic)"
   • Give it a name: "RootlessNet Protocol"
   • Select scopes: repo (full control)
   • Click "Generate token"
   • Copy the token (you won't see it again!)

2. Use the token to push:

   cd /home/aaryan/Projects/RootlessNet
   git remote set-url origin https://YOUR_TOKEN@github.com/RootlessNet/protocol.git
   git push origin main

Alternative - Set up SSH Keys

1. Generate SSH key:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
   # Press Enter to accept default location
   # Enter a passphrase (or leave empty)

2. Add SSH key to GitHub:

   cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
   # Copy the output

   • Go to: https://github.com/settings/keys
   • Click "New SSH key"
   • Paste your public key
   • Click "Add SSH key"

3. Test and push:

   ssh -T git@github.com
   cd /home/aaryan/Projects/RootlessNet
   git remote set-url origin git@github.com:RootlessNet/protocol.git
   git push origin main

Current Status

Your code is ready to push! All 31 tests are passing. Once you authenticate, run:

cd /home/aaryan/Projects/RootlessNet
git push origin main

The protocol implementation will then be live at: https://github.com/RootlessNet/protocol
