Generating ssh key (public and private)

  1. Open terminal
  2. Run ssh-keygen command
  3. When prompted for filename to save, press enter for default location
  4. When prompted for passphrase, you can either put in a passphrase (highly recommended), or just leave it empty (not recommended)
  5. Your public key is /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, and your private key is /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa
