Git & GitHub SSH Setup

Git

Git is an opensource version control system used to track changes in files. It’s a powerful tool allowing multiple developers to work efficiently on a single code-base.

GitHub SSH Setup

It’s a dev platform utilizing git for distributed version control. The best way to use github is by setting it up via ssh.

#If no password is needed, press enter on prompts
ls -al ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

#Paste the following in config
#touch ~/.ssh/config
#Host github.com
#  AddKeysToAgent yes
#  UseKeychain yes
#  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
#ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Open Github > Settings > SSH and GPG Keys > New SSH Key and paste the public key. To verif the ssh connection use the following cmd ssh -T [email protected]
