SSH Key's

This week I learned how to how to set up my SSH key. To set up the SSH key you have to type "ls -al ~/.ssn" to check if there is an existing SSH key. Once you do that you can either set up an SSH key if you don't have one or you can create a new one. Look for public SSH key's id_rsa.pub,id_ecdsa.pub, id_ed25519.pub if you see those you can skip generating another SSH key. if you don't have one you will see an error. To create a new SSH key type "ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -c "your_email@example.com". This will create a new SSH and prompt you to choose a file to save it in press enter. In the next promt type a password that you would remember.
