Question

I\'ve just generated my RSA key pair, and I wanted to add that key to GitHub.

I tried cd id_rsa.pub and id_rsa.pub, but no luck. How can I acce

Answer 1

I use Git Bash for my Windows.

$ eval $(ssh-agent -s) //activates the connection

• some output

$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa //adds the identity

• some other output

$ clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub //THIS IS THE IMPORTANT ONE. This adds your key to your clipboard. Go back to GitHub and just paste it in, and voilá! You should be good to go.
