@arikfr the owner of the repository needs to create the deployment key.

If this can be done before the end of the day we will be able to observe the success/failure of this action, which will run on March 1.

@eradman I've just bumped up your permission for this repo to Admin level. I think that means you can add the deploy keys and adjust stuff as needed yourself now. 😄

[arikfr]

Thanks, @justinclift ! @eradman let me know if you still need my assistance.

[eradman]

Excellent! Thank you @arikfr @justinclift

And the SSH private key (id_ecdsa)

[justinclift]

Seems pretty straight forward. 😄

Good stuff @eradman, hopefully it all works properly from here on. 😄
