Github ssh authentication no longer working after 6.0 update #1066

Hi,
I've been using SSH Github authentication in the add-on for the last few years (I think there was a specific reason for doing this at the time, but I cannot see it being recommended one way or not in the docs anymore). After the 6.0 update I cannot sync changes from my Github repo anymore with the error:

Git: git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

I have confirmed all the usual (that the ssh keys exist, that the right key is in my Github settings).

When I run ssh -T git@github.com from the VSCode terminal, I get the same above error.

When I run ssh-add /data/.ssh/id_rsa first, then ssh -T git@github.com, it shows that I can successfully authenticate.

Has something changed that I have missed? Is there a better way to link to Github these days (https?). How can I sync my pending local changes and fix it (if I need to move to a new way of authenticating)?

Regards,
dan
