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: git@hf.co: Permission denied (publickey). I have provided more detailed debug information of ssh -vvvT git@hf.co below: debug1:…

I am facing the same error since yesterday. Did you get any support?

Indeed, it seems there is some problem on hugging face end, I am also facing the same issue since yesterday, checked everything, is there any official hugging face channel where we can report this issue other than this forum ?

I am using almost the same way on Github without any problem, but it just doesn’t work on Huggingface

Same here, I even re-created my SSH key at the peak of the denial phase.

Also have this trouble since yesterday

any one have the luck to find any solution for this?

same issue here. I use the same ssk key pari on github which works fine.

i believe its fixed now, working fine for me.
