I've done tons of search and tested different solutions, but gain no success!

When I want to push my codes, I receive the following error:

Warning: the ECDSA host key for 'git.mywebsite.ir' differs from the key for the IP address '164.138.23.11'

Offending key for IP in /home/alireza/.ssh/known_hosts:10

Matching host key in /home/alireza/.ssh/known_hosts:1

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

What should I do to remove this message every time I push my changes? Any idea?

It says:

Offending key for IP in /home/alireza/.ssh/known_hosts:10

So for some reason you have to delete 10-th line in known_hosts.

Run this command to delete 10-th line in known_hosts:

sed -i '10d' ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Or use ssh-keygen

ssh-keygen -R git.mywebsite.ir

Quote from man

 -R hostname

         Removes all keys belonging to hostname from a known_hosts file.

         This option is useful to delete hashed hosts (see the -H option

         above).
