| command | Description |
|---|---|
| ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C “[email protected]” | You can also specify a different key type by replacing rsa with ed25519 or ecdsa if you prefer. |
- Now go to the location where the saved ssh key is. by default at ~/.ssh/.it’ll be named id_ed25519.pub. Depending upon the type of key it may be difficult.
- Copy it and go to your Github.
- Go to settings/SSH and GPG keys. Click on new ssh key and paste it.
Run
$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
