1 - Open terminal.


2 - Paste the text below, substituting in your GitHub email address.

  $ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

3 - This creates a new SSH key, using the provided email as a label.

  > Generating public/private ALGORITHM key pair.

4 - When you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key", you can press Enter to accept the default file location. Please note that if you created SSH keys previously, ssh-keygen may ask you to rewrite another key, in which case we recommend creating a custom-named SSH key. To do so, type the default file location and replace id_ssh_keyname with your custom key name.

  > Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]
  > Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]

5 - Start ssh-agent in second plan.

  $ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
  > Agent pid 59566

6 - Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent. If you created your key with a different name or if you are adding an existing key that has another name, replace id_ed25519 in the command with the name of the private key file.

  $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

7- Copy the SSH public key to your clipboard.

  $ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Then select and copy the contents of the id_ed25519.pub file displayed in the terminal to your clipboard.


8- Go to Github in "Settings/SSH keys/New SSH Key" and copy content from terminal after executing previous comand.
