Github Key Already In Use New update

If you are trying to add an SSH key to your GitHub account and you receive an error message saying that the key is already in use, it means that the key you are trying to add is already associated with another GitHub account.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check if the key is associated with any other GitHub account that you may have created in the past. If you find any, try removing the key from that account and then add it to your current account.
2. If the key is not associated with any other GitHub account, it is possible that someone else may have access to the key. In that case, you should consider generating a new key pair and adding it to your GitHub account.
3. If you are using the same key pair on multiple machines, make sure that you have not added the same key to another GitHub account from a different machine.
4. If none of the above steps work, you can contact GitHub support for further assistance.

Remember to keep your SSH key secure and do not share it with anyone else.

To delete an SSH key from your GitHub account, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your GitHub account and go to your profile by clicking on your profile icon in the top right corner.
2. Click on “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
3. On the left-hand side, click on “SSH and GPG keys”.
4. Find the key you want to delete and click on the “Delete” button next to it.
5. Confirm that you want to delete the key by clicking on “Delete” again in the pop-up window.
6. The SSH key will be deleted from your GitHub account.

Note: If you have added the SSH key to any of your repositories as a deploy key, you will need to remove it from those repositories as well. To do so, go to the repository’s settings, click on “Deploy keys”, find the key you want to remove and click on “Remove”.
