- Ensure git is installed by running
git -v - Using Powershell change the working directory to .ssh
cd C:\users\$env:USERNAME\.ssh\
- Launch Git Bash
bash
- Generate ssh key
- Ed25519
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
- RSA
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
- Ed25519
- For GitHub, set a passphrase. From my tests it doesn't appear to work without one.
- Verify file was created with
ls. - Initiate ssh-agent.
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
- Add ssh key to agent.
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
- Copy the key to the clipboard.
clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
- Sign into GitHub.
- Go to settings
- Select SSH and GPG keys
- New SSH key
- Give the key a title, paste the key in the Key field, and click Add SSH key.
- Back in bash test the connection
ssh -T [email protected]
- Upon successful output we are finished.
