ssh-keys

I followed every step given in this guide: http://help.github.com/linux-key-setup/

When I get to the end I am able to ssh to [email protected], getting the response:

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 Hi AlexBaranosky! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access. Connection to github.com closed

But when I go to clone my repo it fails saying:

Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've used Github a lot, but this is my first use of it from an Ubuntu computer, is there something I am missing here?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is it reasonable to have multiple SSH keys?

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
So far I've created a separate SSH key for each server I need to login to (for each purpose, to be more accurate). I did it out of a sense of security, just like different passwords to different sites. Does having multiple SSH keys actually improve security? All of them are used from the same machine… >>> More
