When trying to SSH into GitHub.com on a Linux computer, you may see the following message in your terminal:

$ssh -vT git@github.com>...>Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.>debug1: No more authentication methods to try.>Permission denied (publickey).

For more details, seethis issue report on Canonical Launchpad.

Resolution

You should be able to fix this error by loading your keys into your SSH agent withssh-add:

#start the ssh-agentin the background$eval"$(ssh-agent -s)">Agent pid 59566$ssh-add>Enter passphrasefor /home/YOU/.ssh/id_rsa: [tippy tap]>Identity added: /home/YOU/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/YOU/.ssh/id_rsa)

If your key does not have the default filename (/.ssh/id_rsa), you'll have to pass that path tossh-add:

#start the ssh-agentin the background$eval"$(ssh-agent -s)">Agent pid 59566$ssh-add ~/.ssh/my_other_key>Enter passphrasefor /home/YOU/.ssh/my_other_key: [tappity tap tap]>Identity added: /home/YOU/.ssh/my_other_key (/home/YOU/.ssh/my_other_key)
