#id_rsa -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MIIEoAIBAAKCAQEAzEnUJJtkt3QC21S4omH5SCBqbg7c/5WkfUrAsLGgS9ytAdTL ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... cD8SfXwjsvXXu41EM+S+Fo98ht+pABHnFLdVfT5dyY6jlyph -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- #id_rsa.pub ssh-rsa ... ... iaZo2w== sigbac...@gmail.com Moreover, here my configuration #config Host github.com User git Hostname github.com PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile id_rsa.pub I don't see anything strange but I'm definitely not an expert.
