    Generate SSH Key in your server
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email]" -f ~/.ssh/[name]
Copy the key in the .pub file and paste it in your gh access tokens
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
# Then select and copy the contents of the id_ed25519.pub file
# displayed in the terminal to your clipboard
If your ssh is not being read and fails to perform any git operations due to permissions
# Check if your key is listed
ssh-add -l

# If not, add your key
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# If facing an error "Count not open a connection to your authentication agent."
eval `ssh-agent -s`
Add config file in ~/.ssh/config
