If instead, you get the output: cat: /.ssh/idrsa.pub: No such file or directory, then you will need to create an SSH Key first. You can create a SSH Key in Ubuntu via SSH with the following command (navigate to the.ssh directory first and type): ssh-keygen -t rsa. To make the process easy, we won't add a Keyphrase for the SSH Key, so as. Generate the SSH key with ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 (see here) Copy the content of your public SSH key, it is the file idrsa.pub by default Paste the content into your GitHub/BitBucket account on the SSH key section.

Just follow these 5 steps:
- Go to this address, and download Git for Windows, after the download install it with default settings
- Open Git Bash that you just installed (Start->All Programs->Git->Git Bash)
- Type in the following: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- 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.
- 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)
Mac

- 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:
After this step, you’re ready to start using Git.
After this step, you’re ready to start using Git.
Conclusion
I hope this wasn’t too complicated to follow, and also I hope it was helpful to someone!

1. The first thing that we need to do is create an SSH key pair to use. Creating this key pair will allow us to add the public key to GitHub. Open a terminal and enter the following command to create the SSH keypair:
![Git bash generate ssh Git bash generate ssh](/uploads/1/2/5/8/125872183/131094011.png)
2. After entering the command, a prompt appears with a default file path confirmation. Press Enter to accept the default file path.
3. Next, a password prompt appears. Our goal is convenience, since our public key is being created exclusively for GitHub. Leave the passphrase empty and press Enter.
4. Another prompt appears, this time asking for the passphrase confirmation. Leave this prompt blank as well and press Enter.
5. After passphrase confirmation, our SSH key pair is created and saved within the default file path that we accepted in step 2 of this tutorial. We will need to copy the entire contents of our public key to add to GitHub. To display the contents of the public key, enter the following command into the terminal:
6. The output of the previous command should display the contents of the public key like in the image below.
7. Highlight and copy the entire output of the previous command. Every part must be copied for the SSH key to work when added to GitHub.
8. Now that the public SSH key has been copied to the clipboard, open a web browser and navigate to GitHub, then log in to your account.
9. Click the account icon on the navigation bar on the top-right of the page. Select ‘Settings’ from the dropdown menu that appears.
10. Select ‘SSH and ‘GPG keys’ from the selection pane on the left of the page.
11. Click the green, ‘New SSH key’ button on the top-right of the page.
12. We are taken to the ‘Add New SSH Key’ page. First, enter an identifying title for the SSH key so discerning which computer the matching private key is on is easy.

13. Finally, paste the public SSH key that was copied in step 7 of this tutorial into the ‘Key’ text field.

14. Click the green, ‘Add SSH key’ button to finish the process.
Git Bash Generate Ssh
15. Success! The new public SSH key has been added to the GitHub account and can now be used to simplify and secure your work.
