Sample SSH Key Setup

sample.md

First check that we have an ssh key. Type this in your terminal:

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If you get no error message, SUCCESS! Go to onetimesecret.com, paste your clipboard, and send me the link provided.

If you get the error: "No such file or directory"... follow these steps:

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Paste the text below, substituting in your email address.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

This creates a new ssh key, using the provided email as a label.

  1. When you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key," press Enter. This accepts the default file location.
  2. When you're prompted to type a secure password, press Enter both times. (No password)
