github not accepting private SSH Key

cn flag

I have a Private ED25519 SSH key, on a Windows system (using WSL). Permissions of the private key are 400 and permissions on the Public Key are 444. When I test my connection, using ssh -Tvvv [email protected] this is the response I get.

debug1: Offering public key: /home/username/.ssh/id_ed25519 ED25519 SHA256:uO4IMeDU10K+ME5e2LPI/9dIvPu1tAefz2wx60I+AIA explicit agent
debug3: send packet: type 50
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug3: receive packet: type 51

I've ran the ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 to show the fingerprint as well I ran the ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub and can confirm that the fingerprint matches. For me this indicates that the keys should match each other (please correct me if I am wrong on this assumption), but it seems as if that type 51 means the user is unauthenticated. I can also confirm the public key has been uploaded into my github account, as well I can confirm I'm added the following:

eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

into my ~/.bashrc file. I'm pretty confused as why this isn't working. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to get someone else's input.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
