[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)

I am having trouble authenticating with my SSH key when trying to access a Hugging Face Git repository. When I attempt to connect, I receive the following error message:

[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).

I have provided more detailed debug information of ssh -vvvT [email protected] below:

debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: get_agent_identities: bound agent to hostkey
debug1: get_agent_identities: agent returned 1 keys
debug1: Will attempt key: /Users/kenshin/.ssh/hf_id ED25519 SHA256:P0dAH1Z2UlBk...q8eLtjxg4 explicit agent
debug1: Offering public key: /Users/kenshin/.ssh/hf_id ED25519 SHA256:P0dAH1Z2UlBk...q8eLtjxg4 explicit agent
debug3: send packet: type 50
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug3: receive packet: type 51
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).

I have verified that:

  1. My private key has not been corrupted or modified.
  2. I have added public key to my ssh account.
  3. I have tried generating new key pairs several times.
  4. My network works fine.

Despite these checks, I am still unable to authenticate successfully. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to help me resolve this issue. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you for your help!

I got this error when I use the git clone command in Window Command Prompt, but using the command with the Git Bash works just fine. Hope this will help someone out there.
