Setting up SSH
To authenticate your local computer, you need a way to confirm your identity with GitHub. To do this, we recommend using SSH. You can read more here: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/access-management/what-is-ssh/
To set up SSH, follow these steps
Create a SSH key if you don't already have one. Open a terminal and run the following. Please DO NOT USE COMMAND PROMPT.
cd ~/.ssh
ls
Check if you have a file that ends in
.pub
. Examples includeid_rsa.pub
orid_ed25519.pub
.If you do, run
cat <pubkey file>
and copy the keyIf you don't have a file like that, please run
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
to create a SSH key and then copy the key.
Navigate to GitHub's interface and click on your profile picture, then click
SSH and GPG Keys
. Add your SSH key you copied above into GitHub
Cloning a repository
Navigate to the repository and click the green "clone" button. Select "SSH" as the tab option and copy the link:
Then navigate to a suitable location to clone the repository, such as ~/Documents
and run:
git clone <ssh link>
Congrats, you've clone the repository! Now just navigate into the repository and run VS Code!
