I have created a private repo on github, I want to clone this (empty) repo to my local computer to push changes to.
I'm using MacOS Ventura 13.0.
I have created a keypair and I have uploaded the public key to Settings > SSH and GPG keys. I have added this key to the ssh-agent. When I test my SSH connection to GitHub, everything works as expected (I get the preferred output like my username and stuff).
When I try to clone the private repo, I get the following output:
user@my-mac <folder> % git clone [email protected]:<username>/<repo>.git
Cloning into '<folder>'...
[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.
What could possibly be wrong? Should I add the SSH key to a specific repo (in deploy keys)?

GitHub has a page for this error message: Permission denied (publickey)
Walking through the steps listed there probably will fix your problem.

If you have MacOS Ventura, you must
- (easy way) to forgot about RSA signatures using SHA-1 and use another stronger type, because
Starting with OpenSSH v8.8, RSA signatures using SHA-1 are disabled
- (hard way) RSA signatures using SHA-1 can be re-enabled, if you can edit
/etc/ssh/sshd_configand do some other tricks, as it was already outlined some tome ago
