[Docs] SSH Key Configuration for WSL 2 Setup

[Maarten-Dekker]

👉 The problem

Setting up a new WSL 2 environment and proceeding with the spin version command works flawlessly. However, the next step, which involves initializing a project with spin init <template> or spin new laravel my-billion-dollar-idea, hits a snag due to the absence of an SSH key linked to the GitHub account. This results in the following error:

🔄 Downloading template...
Cloning from [email protected]:serversideup/spin-template-laravel-basic.git
Cloning into '/tmp/tmp.bFMHoirBnG'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

This issue prevents any further progress in the installation process.

🏆 How to solve this problem

To address this, include a prerequisite step in the documentation. Users should be guided to configure an SSH key in their GitHub account before initiating a project setup. The following steps can be added to the documentation to facilitate this process:

1. Verify if an SSH key is already present: Check for existing SSH keys
2. Generate a new SSH key: Generate a new SSH key and add it to the SSH agent
3. Add the new SSH key to your GitHub account: Add a new SSH key to your GitHub account
4. Test your SSH connection: Test your SSH connection

Incorporating these steps ensures users have the necessary access rights, thereby avoiding the aforementioned error and smoothing out the project initialization phase.

Note: i am not well-versed in WSL or Linux, there could potentially be a simpler method. However, the steps I've outlined have effectively resolved the issue for me.
