Creating SSH key
- At first I confirmed that my Github username and email were associated with Git.
The commands:
github config --global user.name
github config --global user.email
Generate SSH key
To generate the SSH key I ran:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "my email"
- The SSH key is saved to specific file location such as drive C on the laptop.
Copy the public key
The command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Add the SSH key to Github
Profile-Settings-Access-SSH and GPG key- New SSH key
Then:
- Add Title, Key type(Authentication key) and Paste the entire SSH key, Click Add SSH key.
Test Connection
On Git Bash ran:
ssh -T [email protected]
- The correct output should be that I have been successfully authenticated with my GitHub account
