Error "no matching mac found" with ubuntu 10.04 and github

it flag

I have a web application mounted on an old server with Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS and for a short time I have not been able to deploy it due to a problem that occurs with the connection to github to download the code:

no matching mac found: client
hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,[email protected],hmac-ripemd160,[email protected],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96
server
[email protected],[email protected],hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

The problem seems to be caused by a recent change in github that does not accept connections with old protocols, here they explain it: https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/

This is the ssh version of my Ubuntu server:

ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009

Which by the way does not support the -Q option that is proposed in some responses to similar questions that have not helped me to solve the problem.

ssh: illegal option -- Q
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
           [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]

           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
           [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
           [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] [user@]hostname [command]

The ssh_config file for my server is this:

#       $OpenBSD: ssh_config,v 1.34 2019/02/04 02:39:42 dtucker Exp $

# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file.  See
# ssh_config(5) for more information.  This file provides defaults for
# users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files
# or on the command line.

# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
#  1. command line options
#  2. user-specific file
#  3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
# configuration file, and defaults at the end.

# Site-wide defaults for some commonly used options.  For a comprehensive
# list of available options, their meanings and defaults, please see the
# ssh_config(5) man page.

Could someone help me to fix this issue considering I am tied to that server running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS? Thank you very much.

10.04? Dude, upgrade the System to a supported device. As long this question is offtopic since questions should demonstrate reasonable information technology management practices

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.
