I would have expected you to suggest creating an ed25519 SSH keys pair.

As you talk about SSH key for GitHub, edt sounds like a better choice.

You can get more information from a previous article I wrote

Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm actually thinking of switching to ed25519 soon myself.

One silly advantage of ED keys is they're way shorter than RSA and others which makes copy-pasting or storage much safer and easier, prone to fewer mistakes.
