SSH Key Pair
To create a SSH Key Pair, using git GUI:

Copyright By Assignmentchef assignmentchef

(1) Go to the command line prompt (cmd).
(2) type git-gui. This will bring up the UI for git.
(3) Go to Help -> Show SSH Key
(4) Click Generate Key1
(5) Enter passphrase (or just click OK if you do not want to use a password). Repeat.
(6) Go to /.ssh directory. You should now have two files: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. These files contain your private and public SSH keys, respectively. Open the file with the key you are required to provide, e.g. id_rsa to access your private key. Copy all content, including BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY and END RSA PRIVATE KEY lines, into the text box of the Create Secret form (see 4.9.2 and Fig. 4 above).
1 If you already have these, your public key will be displayed in the text box. In this case, skip to (6), unless you want to generate a new pair (this might require deletion of your existing pair not covered in this document).
