I was getting (publickey denied) when trying to push to GH using ssh. When I
tested the connection I saw that a bunch of keys in ``~/.ssh/ were being
attempted
✗ ssh [email protected] -vv
...
debug1: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk

debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
None of those were the key I setup with GH. So I added an entry
into ~/.ssh/config:
Host
github.com
User git
Port 22
Hostname github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_custom_github_key
TCPKeepAlive yes
IdentitiesOnly yes
