Question githhub updated their rsa ssh host key

We updated our RSA SSH host key | The GitHub Blog

At approximately 05:00 UTC on March 24, out of an abundance of caution, we replaced our RSA SSH host key used to secure Git operations for GitHub.com.

github.blog

In our case this prevents us from pulling updates from github.

No great urgency for us, but I was wondering whether Plesk would respond with some kind of update or whether to perform the remedial steps myself?

Hi
We are struggling with it ... unable to update our apps and we have an important fix to push in production ...

The commands in the github blog post are not working :

we've removed the key with the following command :

ssh-keygen -f "/var/www/vhosts/ourwebsite/.ssh/git_known_hosts" -R "github.com"

but how to add the new rsa key ?
When using the curl command specified in the post, and tried to pull with the plesk gui, it's not working ...

Any update about that ?

Thanks

Ok, we've found the solution.

• Remove the file "git_known_hosts" (make a backup just in case...)
• try to pull from the Plesk GUI.
• It will create the file again, with the new keys from Github.

On one of our websites, the key was obsolete, so we just recreate the ssh key in GiHub with the one provide by Plesk and Pull again

Hope it will help someone

Thanks

I have the same problem.
I removed the "git_known_hosts" file. Tried to create the repo and got this message:
