steps to clone a private repository using Google Colab

I want to clone a private repository in Google Colab,

I opened a notebook on colab and did the following:

%cd "content/drive/My Drive/project"
!rm -rf /root/.ssh*
!mkdir /root/.ssh
!ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

then I opened the public key by 

 !cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.put

I copied the public key that is displayed after I ran the command and made a new key in my GitHub using this key.

Then I tried the following:

!ssh-keyscan GitHub.com >> /root/.ssh/known_hosts
!chmod 644 /root/.ssh/known_hosts
!chmod 600 /root/ssh/id_rsa
!ssh -T github.com

then I get the following (permission denied)

# github.com:22 SSH-2.0-babeld-d45c1532
# github.com:22 SSH-2.0-babeld-d45c1532
# github.com:22 SSH-2.0-babeld-d45c1532
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '140.82.113.3' to the list of known hosts.

ssh -T github.com
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)

That would be expected:

You always use "git", not "root" (or your current local user) as the remote user to connect to GitHub.

Your local account remains "root" (it contains the public and private SSH key)

But connecting to GitHub means using the remote account git.
