Password authentication error when using a SSH key, for git clone

Although I have created a SSH key and used the SSH command, git clone is failing with “Password authentication in git is no longer supported. You must use a user access token or an SSH key instead” as shown below:

% git clone git@hf.co:TheBloke/docsgpt-7B-mistral-GGUF

You can inspect what was checked out with ‘git status’

and retry with ‘git restore --source=HEAD :/’

The SSH test works:

ssh -T git@hf.co
