Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/troubleshooting-ssh

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Create a new page for host key verification failed

  • It should explain how to determine the current public keys for github, possibly by linking to: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/githubs-ssh-key-fingerprints, although iirc there's also a server api which ideally should be reachable from that page but is not.

  • It could provide a bit of information about the general state

  • It should explain how to check, confirm, and accept the keys if they're correct.

Additional information

  • https://github.community/search?q=host%20key%20verification%20failed
  • https://github.community/t/git-host-key-verification-failed/227295/1

@cmwilson21... I am I in the process of writing up a list of things that the bot gets wrong...

@jsoref We are investigating the recent hiccups with stalebot. Sorry for the noise it's creating. We're looking into it! 👍
