Hi @snehiop,
I noticed that you have a public key already listed on your GitHub profile at https://github.com/snehiop.keys. To ensure successful authentication, please verify that this public key exactly matches the public key (id_rsa.pub or similar) on your local machine. This is crucial because any discrepancy between these keys will cause authentication to fail.

Additionally, it's important to check the permissions set on your SSH key files, as incorrect permissions can also lead to authentication errors. Here are the commands to set the correct permissions:

For your private key file, ensure it is only accessible by your user account:

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

For your public key file, it should be readable:

chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Setting these permissions ensures that your SSH keys are secure and readable only by the necessary processes. If you have done all this and are still facing issues, you might want to regenerate your SSH keys and update GitHub with the new public key.

If you require further assistance, please let me know!
