Provisioning of server works fine. Deployment Fails for Production. Trellis SSH fails

And you are sure the repository name and branch was correct? You did use something like

...
 branch: main
 repo: git@github.com:user/repo-name.git
...

And little general access test:

ssh -T git@github.com
Hi jasperf! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Just really odd the error does not get resolved without adding the private key.

Also , check if agent forwarding is enabled in your local SSH config:

cat ~/.ssh/config

You should see something like:

Host yourserver
    ForwardAgent yes

If missing, add:

Host yourserver
    HostName yourserver.com
    User your-ssh-user
    ForwardAgent yes

I have

...
Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
...

And two, ensure your SSH agent is running:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

To check if your SSH key is added:

ssh-add -l

If empty, add your key:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
