Noob in need of some help guys. I’m trying to connect through SSH on a Mac and continue to get the Permission denied (public) error. I’ve generated my key and I can’t seem to figure out the proper place to store it on the Mac so the Pi will see it when connecting. Any assistance is appreciated.

same here…
When on Desktop click on the Go menu at the top of the Finder bar, scroll down to “Go To Folder…” in there type " ~/.ssh " (without quotations*). Hit enter. This is the folder where you need to save the file. Hope this helps!
for later reference, after you set up your key like
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
(see Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent - GitHub Docs for more info)
just type
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/PUTYOURGENERATEDKEYHERE
in the terminal - that worked for me! 
Hello I still cannot get this working i am on a mac and use duck dns to connect to my instance

this worked also for me!
thankyou
until I’ve add the key to apple keychan the key was not used by ssh
to debug add -v to ssh command
ssh -v [email protected]
then check which identify files are used to connect.
