Creating SSH Key

In Windows terminal or git bash, create ssh key using the following command

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

If you want to specify a path and a filename, you can use

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com" -f "path"

You can simply create in current directory like below

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com" -f "your_username"

Registering SSH Key to git

Add ssh key using the command below.

ssh-add /path/to/your_key

Verify that it is successfully added.

ssh-add -l

If you are using git bash you should do the above in window terminal and have to connect bash’s ssh with the windows ssh.

git config --global core.sshCommand C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe

Setting config of repo

You will have to specify which account you are going to use for the repo each time you clone or create new repo.

You can set a global config, but you should still do this if you want to use different account.

git config user.name your_username
git config user.email your_email@example.com

Additional : How to set signing key

Open terminal, and type

git config --global commit.gpgsign true

git config --global gpg.format ssh

git config --global user.signingkey /PATH/TO/.SSH/KEY.PUB

You can use the same ssh key as signing key.
