how to generate ssh for github

Comment

To set up an SSH key for secure authentication with your Git repositories, follow these steps:

**Generating an SSH Key:**

1. Open a terminal window and create an SSH key by executing the following command:
   
   $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

**Choosing a Key File Name:**

2. Choose a meaningful name for your key file based on the service you're using, such as `github_rsa` for GitHub or `gitlab_rsa` for GitLab.

**Copying the Public Key:**

3. Copy the public key to your clipboard from the following path:
   

   $ ~/.ssh/github_rsa.pub

   
   Note: If you didn't specify a name during key generation, it will be saved as `id_rsa.pub` by default.

**Adding the Key to Your GitHub Account:**

4. Navigate to your GitHub account and access the SSH keys settings page.

5. Click on "New SSH Key."

6. Paste the SSH key from step 3 into the "Key" field and provide a descriptive title.

7. Click "Add Key" to complete the process of adding the SSH key to your GitHub account.

--------------
  
In case you encounter a "permission denied" issue, follow these additional steps:

**Resolving Permission Issues:**

1. rename known_hosts to known_hosts.old

   $ mv ~/.ssh/known_hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts.old

2. Run the following command to start the SSH agent:

   $ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

3. Add your SSH key to the agent:

   $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/github_rsa

--------------
note: if the problem still exist read the following.

You need to tell Git which SSH key to use when connecting to GitHub.
You can do this by editing your: 
~/.ssh/config 
file or creating it if it doesn't exist.
Add the following lines to the file which name is config:
Host github.com
  HostName github.com
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa

By following these steps, you'll establish a secure SSH key-based authentication method for your Git interactions, ensuring a smoother and more secure workflow.
