Setup git push with SSH

Generate SSH KEY with ssh-keygen

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_github_email@example.com"

Note : In local machines we may have multiple ssh keys, better to create the specific rsa. Example : Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/ubuntu/.ssh/github_rsa

O/P:

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/ubuntu/.ssh/github_rsa
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
Your identification has been saved in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/github_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/github_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:vddx6bSnZdfSM0/6pImd5l+yiycMZRMetgp70NuCcRcM *******@outlook.com
The key's randomart image is:

Github SSH connection setup

1. Copy the ssh from local machine

 cat /home/ubuntu/.ssh/github_rsa.pub

O/P ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAkjnHIUF76AABAQC/iLoHDq+6Bz5m5ED1TezxtCeW4U7eZueEqFX2eMo/BRQLVLzIMP7YyiYBR0xX57MgQ4cVodJV8pM0PYrSGSI1lQ5POSMrY4RDrH+KCVbLpifZAjaI94IKJtjnRm9eynk11g9DCg3z+OlxXmBBs1AO/zzqBXBoekfU753bD4u1kjdfngjt*703yhycHiq6Iis9B2FHbV1Yov9ofswnZxh/xX7gXghLo4bdjpwfgDCRlUl4VUf7AeMY3ACwYsiEs1P6R0dk1SUITgkP8D6pjmaxbroWLex43wkUxuS+nKJ9/kw7AmWnupBrUi0gfYzNlfugniuwJI55vkOyhCF7 ****@outlook.com

2. Go to github account settings page

3. Click on

4. Add title and paste the copied ssh key from the local

5. Test SSH

ssh -T git@github.com

O/P The authenticity of host ‘github.com (192.30.253.113)’ can’t be established. RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:nThbg6kXUpJWGl7E1IGOCspRomTxdCARLviKw6E5SY8. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added ‘github.com,192.30.253.113’ (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Hi JinnaBalu! You’ve successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

6. Update the Remote URL of the repository with the ssh url in place of https

• Copy the url from the button with ssh

• Copy Clone with ssh URL - Clock Use SSH as in first screenshot

 git remote set-url origin git@github.com:JinnaBalu/GitCheatSheet.git

7. Test pushing with ssh

git add --all

git commit -am "testing the changes"

git push -u origin master

DONE with Github
