When trying to run any git command (fetch, pull, push, etc) against Github, a Host Verification Failed message is displayed similar to:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:uNiVztksCsDhcc0u9e8BujQXVUpKZIDTMczCvj3tD2s.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Host key for github.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

  • Does this answer your question? ["Warning: Remote Host Identification Has Changed" — Did GitHub change their RSA key?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75830783/warning-remote-host-identification-has-changed-did-github-change-their-rsa) (I understand the temptation to self-answer a question that will/is as popular as this topic, but please search first if it was already done). – Joachim Sauer Mar 24 '23 at 14:08
