I'm not sure why I'm getting a permission denied error. Can anyone help me understand my log below? I'm using Windows Subsystem for Linux with an Ubunutu distro. I used ssh-keygen to generate my keys in my home director under .ssh. I see my id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files. I'm thinking my key isn't configured correctly but I'm not sure why. Not sure how to interpret the debug info.

Update: I discovered that for some reason I can connect via Git's bash terminal and Windows Terminal, but not Ubuntu. Does it have to do with where my keys are stored?
