Do I need to add SSH key to GitHub?
You must also add the public SSH key to your account on GitHub before you use the key to authenticate or sign commits. For more information, see "Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent", "Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account" and "About commit signature verification."
Where do I get my public SSH key?
The public part of the key is saved in the id_rsa. pub file, while the private part is saved in the id_rsa file. Both files can be accessed from this location using Explorer: C:\Users\[your user name]\. ssh .
Is SSH key same as public key?
The SSH key pair is used to authenticate the identity of a user or process that wants to access a remote system using the SSH protocol. The public key is used by both the user and the remote server to encrypt messages. On the remote server side, it is saved in a file that contains a list of all authorized public keys.
Can I regenerate SSH key?
The host keys are usually automatically generated when an SSH server is installed. They can be regenerated at any time.
