'ssh github works, but not git push.
I've never encountered ssh working and git not working in this way. Not sure how to troubleshoot.
ssh seems to work (-T prevents the first line):
iam@heeere:/e/.ssh$ ssh github
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Hi bradyt! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Connection to github.com closed.
git push seems to not work
iam@heeere:/e/basic-computing-notes$ git push
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I came across the same issue and I found out there was an entry in my .gitconfig which was replacing ssh with https.
[url "https"]
insteadOf = git
I might have accidentally added this entry while using some tool. After removing this the problem was resolved.

Although this is not the answer to OP's question, I put this here for other people who might end up here like me:
When using a non-standard SSH port, the protocol needs to be explicitly specified, i.e.
git remote set-url origin git+ssh://git@host:port/url.git
instead of
git remote set-url origin git@host:port/url.git
Solution 3:[3]
I've had the same problem here when using 'https' protocol.
Git push doesn't work for 'https' protocol but if I manually change it to 'git' it works.
This doesn't work:
git push https://github.com/username/repo.git
But changing it to this works:
git push [email protected]:username/repo.git
