@tierninho sadly this wasnt the issue that i was presented with.

I believe something happened to the key on my github account, the only way i could resolve this issue was re-creation of my github key and reauthorizing it in my github account.

I’ve had experience with the other issue in the past, and had resolved it but noticed it had no ‘relation’ to this issue.

Thanks for the reply.

I added a new pub key following steps given @ https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/. this solved my auth key issue.
