SSH in Ubuntu
ls -al ~/.ssh
# Lists the files in your .ssh directory, if they exist
#With Terminal still open, copy and paste the text below. Make sure you substitute in your GitHub email address.
! ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
# Creates a new ssh key, using the provided email as a label
# Generating public/private rsa key pair.
# We strongly suggest keeping the default settings as they are, so when you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key", just press Enter to continue.
! Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/you/.ssh/id_rsa): [Press enter]
#You'll be asked to enter a passphrase.
! Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]
# Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]
#Tip: We strongly recommend a very good, secure passphrase. For more information, see "Working with SSH key passphrases".
#After you enter a passphrase, you'll be given the fingerprint, or id, of your SSH key. It will look something like this:
# Your identification has been saved in /Users/you/.ssh/id_rsa.
# Your public key has been saved in /Users/you/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
# The key fingerprint is:
# 01:0f:f4:3b:ca:85:d6:17:a1:7d:f0:68:9d:f0:a2:db your_email@example.com
Ensure ssh-agent is enabled:
# start the ssh-agent in the background
! eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
# Agent pid 59566
! Add your SSH key to the ssh-agent:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
