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: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug1: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk debug1: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_xmss debug1: Will attempt key: /home/nic/.ssh/id_dsa ... 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
