How to add a new SSH key to git bash? ›

Login to your Github account. Go to Settings > SSH and GPG keys. Click button 'New SSH key', add Title to it and paste there content of your public key. Click 'Add SSH key'.

The ssh-keygen command is a component of most SSH implementations used to generate a public key pair for use when authenticating with a remote server. In the typical use case, users generate a new public key and then copy their public key to the server using SSH and their login credentials for the remote server.

Run Git Bash (from the Start Menu or from the Explorer with the contextual menu (right click)). Run cd ~/. ssh/ in your Terminal. If the folder exists, run ls and check if a pair of key exists : id_ed25519 and id_ed25519.

To add an SSH key to your GitHub account, use the ssh-key add subcommand, specifying your public key. For authentication keys, if you're prompted to request additional scopes, follow the instructions in the command line. To include a title for the new key, use the -t or --title flag.
