If you have GitHub Desktop installed, you can use it to clone repositories and not deal with SSH keys. It also comes with the Git Bash tool, which is the preferred way of running git commands on Windows. Ensure the ssh-agent is running: If you are using the Git Shell that's installed with GitHub Desktop, the ssh-agent should be running. How SSH key authentication works. SSH public key authentication works with an asymmetric pair of generated encryption keys. The public key is shared with Azure DevOps and used to verify the initial ssh connection. The private key is kept safe.
Before you generate an SSH key, you can check to see if you have any existing SSH keys.
Note: DSA keys were deprecated in OpenSSH 7.0. If your operating system uses OpenSSH, you'll need to use an alternate type of key when setting up SSH, such as an RSA key. For instance, if your operating system is MacOS Sierra, you can set up SSH using an RSA key.
Open TerminalTerminalGit Bashthe terminal.
Enter
ls -al ~/.sshto see if existing SSH keys are present:Check the directory listing to see if you already have a public SSH key.
By default, the filenames of the public keys are one of the following:
Didn't glue them just carefully placed them. Hekate stuck on generated keys youtube. I then placed the newish cups on my a and w keys. I managed to get both off very much intact and no rips.I took off the weakened rubber cups from the A and W keys.
- id_dsa.pub
- id_ecdsa.pub
- id_ed25519.pub
- id_rsa.pub

- If you don't have an existing public and private key pair, or don't wish to use any that are available to connect to GitHub, then generate a new SSH key.
- If you see an existing public and private key pair listed (for example id_rsa.pub and id_rsa) that you would like to use to connect to GitHub, you can add your SSH key to the ssh-agent.
Tip: If you receive an error that ~/.ssh doesn't exist, don't worry! We'll create it when we generate a new SSH key.
| # Linux |
| eval`ssh-agent` |
| ssh-add ~/.ssh/some_key_rsa |
| ssh user@server |
| # Mac |
| ## As of the Leopard release of OS X, ssh-agent is more tightly integrated with Keychain. It is possible to store the passphrases of all of your SSH keys securely in Keychain, from which ssh-agent will read them on startup. The bottom line is that it is simple to secure your keys with passphrases, but never have to type the passphrase to use them! Here is how: |
| ## Add the pass phrase to each ssh key to keychain: |
| ssh-add -K [path/to/private SSH key] |
| ## Whenever you reboot your Mac, all the SSH keys in your keychain will be automatically loaded. You should be able to see the keys in the Keychain Access app, as well as from the command line via: |
| ssh-add -l |
