• I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/generating-a-new-gpg-key

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

#generating-a-gpg-key

In the supported-gpg-key-algorithms section, it shows Github supports a list of algorithms including RSA.

However in the generating-a-gpg-key section, it says 'Your key must use RSA', which suggests it is RSA only, and contradicts with supported-gpg-key-algorithms section.

I didn't test the real behaviors, so not sure which one is outdated. But I expect to see them aligned or provided some context on why we must use 'RSA'.
