Github key problems

in case anyone hasn’t seen this yet, github accidentally published some private keys

this may give rise to error messages when accessing github, i just followed the instructions, as advised in the article, and all is good again. I must say i would have been quite freaked out without the warning from ‘the register’!!

the error message starts with
ruth@localhost:~/software/OpenEMR/openemr/interface/usergroup> git fetch upstream
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
