What is SSH
SSH is also know as Secure Shell Protocol, which allows sys admins or the users secure way to access their systems over the un secure network. You need ad public key and a private key to connect to the secure systems.
The public is a key that will be used to decrypt the private key and usually gets save in the secure credentialing manager on the users system.
Private key is an encrypted key which the users will have it saved somewhere safe on their computers.
The process demonstrated here is done on linux, if you follow along you won’t fail.
Navigate to cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -o -t key(rsa) -C "your github email address"
If it asks you for location just hit enter or return, because by default ssh will look for the key here. /home/devbox/.ssh
The location of the ssh key cat id_key(rsa).pub
Copy and paste it in the git hub setting > ssh key.
