I had a similar issue, and it turned out my key was not RSA. I ran ssh-add -l to see the list of available keys and my key looked something like: 256 SHA256:/cc/randomletters [email protected] (ED25519) So instead of id_rsa I used id_ed25519 and the command for me was ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

you should use ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa instead .i think your path is incorrect the key pair are under ~/.ssh folder and not ~/
