Ssh Key Generation Using Git Bash

Posted on by admin

Aug 18, 2017  But Git GUI didn’t let me delete it. Generating a key disables the Generate Key button, and there’s no Delete Key button: It’s obvious from the screenshot that the key is in a file named idrsa.pub, which is in a folder.ssh somewhere on my machine, and that I apparently just needed to delete this file. Sep 26, 2019  Manually generating your SSH key in Windows ›. The Git installation package comes with SSH. Using Git Bash, which is the Git command line tool, you can generate SSH key pairs. Git Bash has an SSH client that enables you to connect to and interact with Triton containers on Windows.

Hi there! This post will be pretty straightforward and will cover Windows, Mac, and Linux, so if you don’t know how to do it already, read on.

Windows

Just follow these 5 steps:

  1. Go to this address, and download Git for Windows, after the download install it with default settings
  2. Open Git Bash that you just installed (Start->All Programs->Git->Git Bash)
  3. Type in the following: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
  4. Open file your_home_directory/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
  5. Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)

Note: your_home_directory is either C:Usersyour_username (on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10), or C:Documents and Settingsyour_username (on Windows XP)

  1. Open console
  2. cd ~
  3. ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
  4. open file /home/your_username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
  5. Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)

Additional info

When you create private/public SSH keys on your machine (that’s what you did in the above steps), it’s not enough. You need to give your public key to the repository in order to pair the Git server with your local machine (that’d be steps 4. and 5. above).

Most of the popular repositories will give you web interface access to the application, and here’s how it looks like on Github:
