In order to generate a key, type ssh-keygen and hit Enter. This will automatically generate the SSH keys.
On Windows 11, a 2048-bit RSA key is created. If you'd like to use a different algorithm — GitHub recommends Ed25519, for example — then you'd type ssh-keygen -t ed25519.
C:\User> ssh-keygen -t ed25519Switch to the specified directory where the key will be stored and run the following command to view its contents(Using git bash or bash for convenience):
$ cd /path/to/key && cat your-key.pubIn case you are indeed using the SSH URL, but still are asked for username and password when git pushing:
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:<Username>/<Project>.gitTroubleshooting can be done by running the following command:
ssh -vT [email protected]Sample output:
debug1: Trying private key: /c/Users/Username/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Trying private key: /c/Users/Username/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /c/Users/Username/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Trying private key: /c/Users/Username/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
Permission denied (publickey).NOTE: The following response will be generated if a key-value pair doesn't exist
- After generating a valid key-value pair, the following response will be genrated
