Provide meaningful name for the key and add the public key content inside Key box.
To avoid this issue create new ssh key specifically for the github ( id_rsa_github.pub) or use existing ssh key. Note that generating new key inside /home/techmonger/.ssh will override existing ssh keys. We will generate ssh keys inside /home/techmonger/.ssh If you are running github client on the unix like operating system then you can generate ssh keys inside your home directory. Once ssh keys are generated as above, head towards configuring keys. You can keep the passphrase empty during key creation.Ībove will generate two key files, id_rsa_github will be private key and id_rsa_github.pub will be public key. Your public key has been saved in C:\\Users\\techmonger\\ssh\\id_rsa_github.pub Your identification has been saved in C:\\Users\\techmonger\\ssh\\id_rsa_github $ ssh-keygenĮnter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/techmonger/.ssh/id_rsa):Ĭ:\\Users\\techmonger\\ssh\\id_rsa_githubĮnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Open git-bash and generate ssh keys inside above directory using ssh-keygen.We will create directory with name sshat location C:\Users\techmonger\ssh to hold ssh keys. Directory location can be anything of your choice. Create directory to hold ssh keys that will be generated during following steps.
#Ssh keygen github windows#
We assume that you have installed github client for windows and have access to git bash shell. If you are running winnows then you should use git bash client to generate ssh keys for pairing with github account.
