What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The instructions for storing your ssh passphrase in Mac OS keychain silently fail for OS greater than 12, which I believe is most of us these days. Thus, when following the instructions Github gives you, you end up still entering your SSH password with command line git every interaction. The modern shell commands are described here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/48502/how-can-i-permanently-add-my-ssh-private-key-to-keychain-so-it-is-automatically/250572#250572
