I had to add and register my public ssh key github_rsa on github. After adding it using the webgui https://github.com/settings/ssh this test went fine.

git remote add origin git@github.com:rtomaszewski/api-challenge

git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:rtomaszewski/api-challenge.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:rtomaszewski/api-challenge.git (push)

As there is not repository with the name api-challenge I created it under my github account.

 
git push -u origin master

After all this trouble i could navigate to my newly created repository under https://github.com/rtomaszewski/api-challenge

At the end got to http://challenge.cldsrvr.com/register and register your repo.
