I'm unable to add a new SSH key to GitHub, the SSH key pair that I've generated is id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. When I've tried to add these to my account in GitHub I'm told that the key is invalid, so I've tried various combinations, like ssh-id_rsa, based on the suggestions given in the error message.

In GitHub help it says: 

'If you're using macOS Sierra 10.12.2 or later, you will need to modify 
your ~/.ssh/config file to automatically load keys into the ssh-agent 
and store passphrases in your keychain.'

I'm using Sierra 10.12.2, but I haven't found any way of modifying or creating a ssh/config file, so I think this might be preventing me from adding my public key to my GitHub account.

Any tips would be much appreciated :-)

Is this what you are talking about - https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/254468/macos-sierra-doesn-t-seem-to-remember-ssh-keys-between-reboots

You need to update your bash_profile.
