I suspect your message "If you use SSH authentication, check that your key is added to the ssh-agent and associated with your account." is part of the following error dialog box:
Try and add your ssh key again: ssh-add /path/to/key
If not, check desktop/desktop issue 8860
Check the GitHub Desktop logs: Help > Show Logs in Finder (macOS) or Explorer (Windows).
Check if signing out/back in from GitHub Desktop is enough.

This answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/29380765/2849383 saved my entire life.
Try the following
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
$ ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

If you have a SSH key with a passphrase it will not work with GitHub Desktop.
Recreate a new SSH key with no passphrase.
This litteraly saved my hole miserable life.

Why can't I connect to github with my ssh key on yubikey

I have an SSH key generated on my desktop as well as one generated on my yubikey. Both are ED25519 keys, with the one on the yubikey being an ED25519-sk for the security key. When I run "ssh -t git#github.com" to attempt to connect to github to test the ssh key with the desktop key it works just fine and connects successfully. However when I load in the SK from the yubikey and attempt to connect I get permission denied. I have properly added both keys to my github account as well as to the ssh-agent. I've run out of ideas of what could be wrong??
Here are my debug logs:

"ssh -t git#github.com" to attempt to connect to github to test the ssh key with the desktop key it works just fine and connects successfully.
From your log, the test is not successful, since you should see a Welcome message:
Hi USERNAME!
You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Double-check "Security keys are now supported for SSH Git operations", and if your security key supports FIDO2 resident keys, consider using a resident key.
For your test to use your ED25519-sk, try and force it with:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk git#github.com
Note that you might need Git for Windows 2.39-rc1, which states:
It is now possible to generate and use SSH keys protected by security keys (AKA FIDO devices) via Windows Hello, e.g. via ssh-keygen.exe -t ecdsa-sk.
(Just in case "libfido2 upgraded to v0.12.0" could bring any benefit to your current command)

I still can't push code to github despite getting the You've successfully authenticated message in this debug output, the SSH identity being generated by SourceTree itself, and ensuring my SSH Agent is running by doing eval "$(ssh-agent)".
I can also see the expected key in my github profile.
What is wrong here?
my SSH Agent is running by doing eval "$(ssh-agent)".
This is likely the problem. ssh knows to talk to ssh-agent via the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variables. Environment variables are only visible to a process and its children.
eval "$(ssh-agent)" sets SSH_AUTH_SOCK for this shell and its children only; that is anything you ran from that shell. If you then run git in this shell it should work. But if you have some stand alone program not launched from this shell, like Atlassian Sourcetree, when it runs ssh it will not know to talk to that ssh-agent.
You could launch Sourcetree from that shell, but that's not a very good solution.
To fix this, and a host of other ssh related problems, start your ssh-agent at login. This should be done for you by your operating system, or if not follow the instructions for your operating system. Otherwise, follow the advice in the various answers here.

github ssh connection setup

I get Permission denied (publickey). on Windows 7 x64
What i did is:
1) Updated my git + openSSH as well
2) generated keys with ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "myemail#gmailcom"
3) named them 'hub', so i have hub + hub.pub in .ssh folder
4) run ssh-agent -s
5) run ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add ./hub'
it said identity added, i can't run "eval $(ssh-agent -s)" on windows so i found "sh -c" (by the waywhy everyone write only unix like instructions always ( )
6) added my public key into github SSH keys list in my github account
7) ssh -vT git#github.com

You are trying to connect with (wrong?) keys from these files.
So may this can help you?
I am sure there is a config file like this on Windows?
Eventually i have figured out, that i had several GIT installed on my computer. One was in Program Files, and the other was in Program Files x64 (old one). Seems old version wasn't removed completely during installation or newer one.
After i had uninstalled both and installed new one it works fine.

Github - Fatal Authentication Failed - Yet I can still connect?

My github isn't connecting. I've tried two different computers and I'm getting the same error so clearly I'm doing something wrong. When I run git push I get prompted for my username / password as expected. Type them in, and yes I'm typing them correctly. Then it says:
fatal: Authentication failed
However when I type ssh -T git#github.com it prompts me for my passphrase and after entering that, it welcomes me to github. I've tried to add the SSH key again and all it says is this SSH key is already on the account. Someone let me know what I'm missing?
When I try to login it shows:
Password for http://(UserName)#www.github.com:
Is that correct?
More Information: Here's the output of ssh-vT git#github.com:
$ ssh-add -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

Try instead of linking to github through http go through ssh. do git remote set-url origin <ssh url> and then try doing git push
The ssh url should be something like git#github.com...
You can try ...
1 Edit your remote repository
git remote set-url origin your-remote-repository-ssh-url
2 Push your code.
git push origin ...
Where will you find your ssh-url?
1 In your repositories page
2 Click ssh link and copy your ssh-url
If you have this problem, you have basically two solutions as your options:
If you insist on using HTTPS to connect to Github, you'll need to get a Personal Access Token from your account on Github instead of your password.
You'll need to switch to SSH and use that to login.
For both options, check out this Stack Overflow question and its excellent first answer for how to go about implementing them.

github : push permission denied (

I know the question has been asked several times.
From my local machine I try to upload files to my repository:
:~/Git-JeanPat/pyFISH$ git push -u origin master
Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
my repository is
https://github.com/jeanpat/pyFISH
I check my password from the admin interface of github.
I made a new ssh key from command line, and I copy it on github.
When I check my connection as indicated. it fails:
~/Git-JeanPat/pyFISH$ ssh -vT git#github.com

I reboot my ubuntu 12.04 laptop and everything went fine ...
