Discourse customize theme with private git repo

Hi!

“The theme cannot be installed because the Git repository is inaccessible. Are you sure you want to continue installing it?”

step of add deploy key in Discourse

No, the SSH key is generated in Discourse and must be added to GitHub (ie the other way around)

Yes, I did this, I added the key in GitHub but it’s not working.
