documentation build is failing

Some problem with the DOCUMENTER_KEY ssh key according to the logs.

We have a DOCUMENTER_KEY "secret" for this repo but it appears to be blank?

[stevengj]

Okay, I just ran DocumenterTools.genkeys(QuadGK) and added a documenter public key with read/write access to https://github.com/JuliaMath/QuadGK.jl/settings/keys and added the corresponding DOCUMENTER_KEY in https://github.com/JuliaMath/QuadGK.jl/settings/secrets
…
hopefully this will work if I now push a commit?

[stevengj]

Success! But the link has now changed to https://juliamath.github.io/QuadGK.jl/dev/

DocumenterTools.genkeys(QuadGK) does not work for me, I geenrate dozens of keys, no pair of them works. Always erros:
Error: Git failed to fetch git@github.com:DonggeJia/try1.jl

I had a similar problem and GitHub kept rejecting the keys generated by DocumenterTools.genkeys(), saving to mykey. I ended up using Windows Powershell and ssh-keygen and converting them in Julia to Base64 like this

using Base64
read(raw"mykey", String) |> base64encode |>  println
read(raw"mykey.pub", String) |>  println

and pasting these output into GitHub.

I don't see how the last comments are relevant to this issue (which had been resolved almost three years ago). If you have problems with the deployment of docs for your own package you should discuss this on the Documenter.jl repository. I'm going lock this issue to stop further unrelated discussions.
