Permissions issues with GitHub

Problem: in the devcontainer you see the following error:

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Solution: you may need to add your github ssh key to the ssh-agent as follows:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Where id_rsa is the name of your private key file you use for connecting to GitHub.
