Issue
I am no longer able to connect to my github respository account using my personal laptop.
It gives below error:
$ git push -u origin main
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I checked my ssh config. Tried adding my public key to github - it says keys are already in use.
May be I messed up my git-local by trying something new for azure authentication because when I ran git config --list, following 2 lines seems to be suspicious as why credential has to be azure something as I am not using any azure authentication. I am not using any VPN or Proxy as its my personal laptop. How do I correct the setting to make it normal as when it's setup. Or where else can be the problem? What should I check?

Solution
Though I don't understand what was wrong. May be my local ssh key got corrupted or updated by mistake.
What worked is:
- Delete old ssh key in my laptop.
- Generate new key.
- Configure that in Github
