Also, running with something like GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" can be useful to diagnose potential SSH issues. Again though, not sure how well that works for Windows.

    If you want to use your key to authenticate, you need to set your remote URL to the SSH one:
    
    git remote set-url --push origin git at github.com:llvm/llvm-project.git
    
    You can get the SSH URL by going to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/ and clicking on Clone or download to get the appropriate URL ... it should give you the option to Clone with SSH.
    
    I've not had a ton of luck with HTTPS authentication, but SSH has worked pretty well. I don't know how true that holds for Windows though.

        Sigh... okay now it's my turn to wonder what obvious mistake I made.

        Pushing to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
        remote: Invalid username or password.
        fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git/'
        
        I was kind of expecting it to prompt me... here are some possibly 
        relevant git-config settings:
        
        user.name=Paul Robinson
        user.email=paul.robinson at sony.com
        remote.origin.url=https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
        
        I haven't put my github account name in anywhere, am I supposed to?
        I do have a key set on the account, but I might have messed up when
        trying to put it in a right place on my Windows system.
        FTR the website instructions still talk about using "git llvm push"
        which IIUC is Not A Thing anymore.
        
        Thanks,
