Hi, I for some reason am not able to create a source control credential with ssh key only to pull from a git repo. I seem to have to add username and github personal access token.

Is this normal? Shouldn’t I be able to create source control credentials with just an ssh key?

Hello,

Repo credentials with SSH key should work, just make sure the repository URL is for SSH and not HTTP
