Generating a new SSH Key and Adding it to the SSH-Agent

Описание

In order to securely pass data between your computer and GitHub, you will need to generate a unique key on your computer and share it with GitHub. This video is a walkthrough of generating a new SSH Key and adding it to the ssh-agent.

Paste the text below, substituting in your GitHub email address.
- $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

Ensure ssh-agent is enabled:
- $ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

Add your SSH key to the ssh-agent.
- $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Check out our next video for a walkthrough on how to add the SSH key to your GitHub account.
