Hello everyone! | ||
|
||
Today, we are going to walk through the process of adding [SSH keys](https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh-keys) to a GitHub | ||
account. | ||
|
||
Before we begin, make sure you have Git installed on your system. If you haven't done this already, head over to | ||
the [Git website](https://git-scm.com/downloads), download the latest version, and install it. | ||
|
||
Here is a step-by-step guide: | ||
|
||
### Step 1: Checking for Existing SSH keys | ||
|
||
Before creating new SSH keys, check if you already have any pre-existing keys. Open your Git terminal or command line | ||
and type: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ ls -al ~/.ssh | ||
``` | ||
|
||
<Image src="ssh.jpg" alt="terminal with ssh folder" /> | ||
|
||
This command lists all the files in your .ssh directory. If you don't find any, you can proceed to generate a new one. | ||
|
||
Your SSH keys might use one of the following algorithms: | ||
|
||
- ⛔️ DSA: It’s unsafe and even no longer supported since OpenSSH version 7, you need to upgrade it! | ||
- 🥴 RSA: It depends on key size. If it has 3072 or 4096-bit length, then you’re good. Less than that, you probably want | ||
to | ||
upgrade it. The 1024-bit length is even considered unsafe. | ||
- 👌 ECDSA: It depends on how well your machine can generate a random number that will be used to create a signature. | ||
There’s also a trustworthiness concern on the NIST curves that being used by ECDSA. | ||
- 🥳 Ed25519: It’s the most recommended public-key algorithm available today! | ||
|
||
### Step 2: Generating a New SSH key | ||
|
||
In your terminal, paste the following command: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "shramko.dev@gmail.com" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Replace `shramko.dev@gmail.com` with the email address you used to create your GitHub account. Then, you will be | ||
prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key," - press Enter to accept the default file location. | ||
|
||
### Step 3: Adding Your SSH key to the ssh-agent | ||
|
||
Make sure the `ssh-agent` is running: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Then, add your new SSH key to the ssh-agent: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note: replace "id_rsa" with the name of your key if you have used a different one. | ||
|
||
### Step 4: Adding the SSH key to Your GitHub Account | ||
|
||
1. Go to your GitHub account settings. | ||
2. Click on 'SSH and GPG keys' in the menu on the left-hand side. | ||
3. Click on 'New SSH Key'. | ||
4. Title it appropriately, then copy the SSH public key to the 'Key' input. | ||
|
||
To copy the SSH key, go back to your terminal and type: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Paste the key into the 'Key' input on GitHub, then click 'Add SSH Key'. | ||
|
||
### Step 5: Testing the Connection | ||
|
||
Return to your terminal and type: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ ssh -T git@github.com![img.png](img.png) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
<Image src="gh.jpg" alt="terminal with ssh folder" /> | ||
|
||
You should see a message welcoming you: "Hi [Your GitHub username]! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does | ||
not provide shell access." | ||
|
||
You've now successfully added an SSH Key to your GitHub account. |
