Error when generating an SSH key with Git: “no such file”

Question

I continually run into the same error when I try to generate an SSH key:

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/konra         


        

Answer 1

Drop to a command line and type:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

And follow the prompts there. I'm pretty sure git's doing exactly that under the hood for you.
