Great video. In the newest version at the moment of adding the ssh it prompts "WARNING: The -K and -A flags are deprecated and have been replaced
by the --apple-use-keychain and --apple-load-keychain
flags, respectively."
Could you maybe provide some info on how to use these commands?

[yuriypetrik]

Hey! Thank you so much, your video helped me a lot.

Hello if anyone facing an error just don't provide any name to the key when prompted just press return / enter.

For some reason when providing a name it doesn't save the key in ssh folder which leads to failure

[Dipak]

Followed steps but for git clone…….. getting error permission denied fatal could not read from remote repository

[cauanboss]

When I use with method SSH, dont work
but when I use HTTPS, work.
The message when I use the method SSH
'remote: The project you were looking for could not be found or you don't have permission to view it.'
