I removed my SSH Keys in an effort to backtrack a little bit. When I went to re-add them I got “Oops! The key has already been taken. ” Even though I obviously just removed the key it was referring to.
It seems the system just doesn’t update itself right away. Anyone know how long it takes to remove the keys from my account so that I can put them back up?
Or am I wrong and I am missing something? I tried SSH’ing into git@github.com, and it refered to the name I use to add my keys.
Have you tried emailing github support and explaining your problem?
Failing that, either the system will timeout and you can upload the old ones again or you will need new keys – I don’t know exactly what github’s restrictions on old keys are.
