- via Terminal, cd into the directory that you want to install repos into and type
git init - Configure your commit email address
- To allow your computer to push to remote repos:
- Generate a new ssh key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "<your_github_email_address>". For MacOS 10.12.2 or later, we must modify~/.ssh/configto automatically load keys into the ssh-agent and store passphrases in your keychain:
# ~/.ssh/config
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Now run the SSH agent and add the key to it:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
- Navigate to the SSH and GPG keys settings page on Github and click "New SSH key"
- Copy the new ssh key you generated and paste it into the box:
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
