Windows git ssh key for GitHub

First: check if SSH exists (Ls-al ~/.ssh)

$ ls-al ~/.sshLists the files in your. SSH directory, if they exist

Second: Generate a new SSH key (ssh-keygen-t rsa-c "[email protected]")

$ ssh-keygen-t rsa-c "[email protected]"creates a new SSH key, using the provided email as a labelGener ating public/private RSA key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/c/users/you[press Enter]

[Type a passphrase]     [press ENTER]

[Type passphrase again]     [press ENTER]

The resulting results are as follows:

Your identification have been saved in/c/users/you/.ssh/id_rsa. Your Public key have been saved in/c/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 [email protected]

Add a new key to Ssh-agent:

$ ssh-agent-sAgent PID 59566$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa 

If could not open a connection to your authentication agent appears
Workaround:
$ eval $ (ssh-agent)
Agent PID 59566
Ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Identity added:/c/users//.ssh/id_rsa(/c/users/you/.ssh/id_rsa)

Third: Add SSH key to GitHub

$ clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pubCopies the contents of the Id_rsa.pub file to your clipboard
As shown in the following:

IV: Check if no configuration is successful

In Git bash, enter:

$ ssh-t [email protected]attempts to ssh to GitHub

May appear:

The authenticity of host ' github.com (207.97.227.239) ' can ' t be established. RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48. Is you sure want to continue connecting (yes/no)? 

This is normal, enter Yes

username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does notprovide shell access.

V: Change the git remote URL: convert https://github.com/xxxx.git to [email protected]:xxxx.git

That is, modify the. git/config file
