Answer 1

For MacOS

Open terminal and make sure you have .ssh directory.

On your home(~) folder enter ls -hal and you will see all hidden directories and make sure you have .ssh directory, if not do mkdir .ssh

then enter this ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "myemail@myemail.com"

then you have: Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/YOURUSERNAME/.ssh/id_rsa):

press Enter (you don't need to enter nothing if you agree with that path or you need to enter your path from root of volume)

then follow answer what is gonna ask press Enter.
