Github SSH Keys: HOW TO add Github SSH Keys - Windows 10 - смотреть онлайн

You can generate and set up an SSH key for github so that you don't need to always type your username and password when you push. All you need is git bash (or a terminal) and a couple of minutes! In this video I show you how to do it on Windows, but this same method also works for macOS or Linux. Use the Github Docs to reference!

Step 1. Open Bash.

Step 2. To make sure you don’t already have a set of keys on your computer, type the following in your Bash window.

Note: Copying and pasting will not work!
ls –al ~/.ssh
If no keys pop up, move on to Step 3.

Step 3. Enter the following command along with your email to generate your keys.

ssh-keygen –t rsa –b 4096 –C "[email protected]"

Step 4. When prompted to enter a file to save the key, press Enter, and then enter a passphrase for your key.

Step 5. Link your key to your machine using a tool called the ssh-agent. Run the following command in Bash to test whether the ssh-agent is running on your machine: eval "$(ssh-agent –s)". Your Bash window should look like the following:

Step 6. Run the following command: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Step 7. To add the key to GitHub, copy the key to your clipboard by entering the following command:

clip ANGLE BRACKET HERE ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Step 8. Go to GitHub's SSH key settings. Click New SSH key.

Step 9. When the form pops up, enter a name for your computer in the Title input. In the Key input, paste the SSH key you copied in Step 8.

Step 10. To add GitHub to your computer’s list of acceptable SSH hosts, type the following command in your Bash window:
ssh –T [email protected]

You should see an RSA fingerprint in your window. Enter yes only if it matches the one highlighted in the image below:
