open powershell
then type ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
dont add a passphrase
just click ENTER all the way
this will create a key pair located in C:\users\you\.ssh folder
id_rsa (private)
id_rsa .pub (public) this is the one you copy (open with notepad) and paste into github account.

On your device toggle SSH on and add your Github Username
Now to the conversion.


Convert id_rsa to openssh key

Open Putty Key Generator (install Putty)
- Click Conversion (on top)
- Click Import Key
- goto C:\users\you\.ssh folder and import id_rsa file
-Then Click Export Openssh Key
-Save and overwrite openpilot_rsa file usually located in the same /.ssh folder
-Open Workbench
NOTE:Ticking RSA or SSH-(RSA) radio button (bottom) should give you the same conversion. Either one will work.
