I’ve set up Rails on Ubuntu 10 under VirtualBox. I’ve managed to configure pretty much everything except for Github.
Everytime I try to ssh git@github.com I get a message telling me permission denied (publickey). Below is the message I received after debugging:

Could somebody help and tell me what I’m doing wrong. Also be aware that I’m a newbie 🙂 to Ruby and Git/Github.
There are instructions on Github for this. You need to locate your ssh public key (most likely in your
~/.sshfolder) and upload it to Github.Look under your account settings, then SSH Public Keys, then over on the right, follow the link Need Help With Public Keys and it will take you here.
