Before anything

• I searched for the problem and don't found the answer.

What is the problem?

$ git clone git@github.com:devopshobbies/terraform-tutorial.git
Cloning into 'terraform-tutorial'...
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Hello! I looked into this Permission denied (publickey) error. It's a common SSH authentication issue. The person experiencing this has two good options to solve it.

Solution 1: The Quick Fix (Use HTTPS)
The fastest solution is to clone the repository using the HTTPS URL instead of the SSH URL.

I've just tested this on my own machine, and it works perfectly. Here is a screenshot showing the successful clone:

The command to use is:

1.Bash

2.git clone https://github.com/devopshobbies/terraform-tutorial.git

Solution 2: The Long-Term Fix (Set up SSH)
For a permanent solution that avoids typing passwords, the best approach is to correctly set up SSH keys. GitHub provides excellent step-by-step guides for this:

Generating a new SSH key

Adding that new key to your GitHub account

Given that the HTTPS method is a confirmed workaround, this issue can likely be closed.
