Requirements

sudo apt-get install xclip

Preparation

Generate ssh key:

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

In a step for the command above you will create a filename for your ssh key. I chose git.

Copy the contents of the file ~/.ssh/git.pub:

xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/git.pub

to your SSH keys in your GitHub account settings.

Test SSH key

ssh -T git@github.com
git clone git://github.com/<username>/<your-repository>

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:<username>/<your-repository>.git

git add -A
git commit -am "my update msg"
git push
