1. Create an SSH key with sufficient access privileges. For security reasons, don't use your personal SSH key but set up a dedicated one for use in GitHub Actions. See below for a few hints if you are unsure about this step.
-2. Make sure you don't have a passphrase set on the private key.
-3. In your repository, go to the *Settings > Secrets* menu and create a new secret. In this example, we'll call it `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`. Put the contents of the *private* SSH key file into the contents field.

This key should start with `-----BEGIN ... PRIVATE KEY-----`, consist of many lines and ends with `-----END ... PRIVATE KEY-----`.

You might want to [try a wrapper script around `ssh`](https://gist.github.com/mpdude/e56fcae5bc541b95187fa764aafb5e6d) that can pick the right key, based on key comments. See [our blog post](https://www.webfactory.de/blog/using-multiple-ssh-deploy-keys-with-github) for the full story.
Also, when using **Github deploy keys**, GitHub servers will accept the first known key. But since deploy keys are scoped to a single repository, you might get the error message `fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.` if the wrong key/repository combination is tried.
