Q&A for work

Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.

I followed setting-up-git guide . It didn't work. I also tried to follow the GitHub's connecting-to-github-with-ssh guide. It didn't work either. I keep getting same error :

host key verification failed.

After googling found this suggestion: ssh-keygen -R hostname .

Tried replacing hostname with github.com and 13.234.176.102 .

Still same result : do_known_hosts: hostkeys_foreach failed: No such file or directory .

The .ssh diirectory cotains below files:

id_ed25519
id_ed25519.pub
id_rsa
id_rsa.pub
OS:- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)
rename/remove your existing ~/.ssh/known_hosts
try again ssh -Tv git@github.com and answer 'yes' when prompted
From there, the test should work.
                The known_hosts file doesn't exist. I think it was never created, because I never saw it.

                Host key verification failed. again. But, this time the output is longer. Should I edit the question and add the entire output?

                @MayankTiwari Yes (or reference the content to an external pastbin service if it is too big)

                I'm so sorry. I pressed enter, instead of typing 'yes'. It works now. Hi mayank996! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. Thank you.
