Can't get it to work – Permission denied

[geoidesic]

I had a go with this and it although I've put the private key into a secret and done:

name: Deploy to VPS

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Set up SSH
      uses: webfactory/[email protected]
      with:
        ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.VPS_SSH_PVT_KEY }}
    
    - name: Manually update known_hosts
      run: |
        mkdir -p ~/.ssh/ && touch ~/.ssh/known_hosts &&
        ssh-keyscan <ip_address> >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

    - name: Deploy to VPS
      run: ssh -v cicd@<ip_address> "cd /var/www/html/edge-hello-world && git pull origin main"

It doesn't seem to find the key:

debug1: Offering public key: --REDACTED-- agent

Did you manage to fix the issue, I have the same problem.
