I am not able to clone the repository

Hey Surabhi,

The error message “Permission denied (publickey)” indicates that GitHub is rejecting your SSH authentication. Here’s how you can fix it:

Solution: Add SSH Key to GitHub

  1. Check if you have an SSH key:

    ls -al ~/.ssh

    If you see files like id_rsa and id_rsa.pub, you already have an SSH key.

  2. If you don’t have an SSH key, generate one:

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
    • Press Enter to save it in the default location (~/.ssh/id_rsa).
    • Set a passphrase (optional).

  3. Add the SSH key to your GitHub account:

    • Copy the public key to your clipboard:
      cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    • Go to GitHub → Settings → SSH and GPG keys → New SSH Key.
    • Paste the key and save.

  4. Test the SSH connection:

    ssh -T git@github.com

    If successful, you’ll see:

    Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

  5. Try cloning again:

    git clone git@github.com:cloudxlab/python_iitr_feb2025.git

If you still face issues, let me know what error you get! :rocket:
