git@github.com：权限被拒绝（公钥）错误

Question

I've have been trying to push to origin master, and I was getting different errors now I'm getting this

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

How can I connect my github again? I've tryed multiple different stuff.

You need to have a SSH key on your machine generated if not already generated.

This can be done by running following command in your .ssh folder

ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -f 'filepath/id_ecdsa'

More reading on ssh command .

This will generate a public and private key pair. You need the public key added to your github account added or for a specific repo.

cat id_ecdsa.pub and get it added to your github repo's SSH keys.

Note that the name of file above can be anything. I just named it after the encryption type ecdsa preferable.
