How to Create SSH Key Pair

Follow these instructions to create or add SSH keys on Linux, MacOS & Windows. Windows users without OpenSSHÂ can install and use PuTTYÂ instead.
Create a new key pair, if needed
Open a terminal and run the following command:
ssh-keygen
You will be prompted to save and name the key.
Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/USER/.ssh/id_rsa):
Next you will be asked to create and confirm a passphrase for the key (highly recommended):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
This will generate two files, by default called id_rsa
 and id_rsa.pub
. Next, add this public key.
Copy and paste the contents of the .pub file, typically id_rsa.pub, into the SSH key content field on the left.
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
