I have copied the public key from my local machine into the authorized_keys file into my user's ssh directory on the VPS. But when I do git clone I get and Permission denied(publickey) error
I get this log when I run
ssh -Tv git@github.com

I'm not sure what else I need to do. I also created authorized_keys2 with the publickey but still no luck.
