0mj Goto Github PK

Check for existing keys..
ls -al ~/.ssh

So you dont have a key. Use the following steps to create one.

1. ssh-keygen
2. Press enter when prompted with "Enter file in which to save the..."
3. Press enter twice when prompted with "Enter passphrase"
4. Set permissions on your keys
   sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa && sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
5. Run `ssh-agent` (yes including backticks)
6. eval ssh-agent

1. ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
2. View your public key cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
3. Copy your public key from above
4. Add it to your github Account's SSH Keys section
5. Verify that the key is setup properly ssh -T [email protected]
6. Say "yes" when asked if you'd like to add to known hosts
   You should see your username and some message about how shell access is disabled
7. Exit and reopen terminal
8. Run ssh -T [email protected] again just to ensure you can still connect to github after a restart

If you get an error about not having access when pushing a new repository try making one on github first ;)
