title: Error permission denied (publickey) on GitHub
body: <p>I'm having an issue with connecting via ssh git@github.com. <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey/" rel="nofollow">This article</a> was not any help, unfortunately. I was trying to install something with composer for a project, using a github library and it was giving me the same error.</p>
  
  <p>When I just run the <code>ssh</code> command, I get the same error: <code>Permission denied. (publickey)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The output from <code>ssh -vT git@github.com</code> is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ericmbp:app me$ ssh -vT git@192.30.252.131

  <p>All I can think of is that I added some keys via <code>ssh-add</code> for another project, but what I don't understand is that it looks like it's attempting to apply keys even though they aren't necessary, right? Why would this be failing?</p>
  
  <p>I don't have anything for github in my <code>~/.ssh/config file.</code></p>
