Simplest way to set up SSH key for GitHub.

Prerequisites: -

1. Git must be installed in your device. To see if you have git installed use the command: git -v
2. You must have already configured your credentials (i.e. your email and username for git). If you haven't done so yet, use the following commands to set up your email and username: -

for email: - git config --global user.email "[e-mail]"
for username: - git config --global user.name "Your Name"

If you have those done, let's move forward.

- Generating the SSH key: -

1. copy the command: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[e-mail]"
   and paste it in your (git bash) terminal.
   replace the dummy email with your own (preferably your GitHub account)

2. If you wish to enter a pass phrase you can do so, But for this tutorial
   we will just keep it empty. Hit enter until you are able to enter a new
   command in your terminal.

- Copying the SSH key: -

1. Use this command in your terminal: clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub to copy your SSH key.

- Adding SSH key to your GitHub account: -

1. Click on your profile (On the Top right) and open settings.

2. Click on "🔑 SSh and GPG keys" on the left side under the access
   section.

3. Click on "New SSH key"

4. Give it a title (Anything you want)

5. Paste your SSH key in "key" input field.

6. Finally, click on "Add SSH key"
