Generate the key

To generate the key use this command

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048

With default settings you can print your public with:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Add public key to Github

• On Github to My Profile > Settings > SSH and GPG keys
• Click on New SSH key and paste your public key (default: id_rsa.pub under folder ~/.ssh/)

You can paste the public key in github w or w/o the email address, it does not matter.

Very useful and cool. I never done this type of project earlier.
