You can debug the connection fairly simply: instead of trying to git
clone, try:

ssh -v aur at aur.archlinux.org

You will get a lot of debug info printed out, a successful connection
should look something like this:


```
debug1: Offering public key: /home/eschwartz/.ssh/keys/aur RSA
SHA256:3JKGjA8QHS9uXZ03uBm9YjjCxJVykNkmGGEp0/aqrHo explicit
debug1: Server accepts key: /home/eschwartz/.ssh/keys/aur RSA
SHA256:3JKGjA8QHS9uXZ03uBm9YjjCxJVykNkmGGEp0/aqrHo explicit
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
Authenticated to aur.archlinux.org ([2a01:4f9:c010:50::1]:22).


[...]

Interactive shell is disabled.
Try `ssh aur at aur.archlinux.org help` for a list of commands.
```

You might be e.g. misconfigured and ssh is offering the wrong key. The
debug messages will, like my example, list out the actual key file it is
trying to send.

Once you can get ssh to work without git on top, git should work too.

Feel free to post logs, or join IRC for real-time support.
