## Create an SSH Key

=== "Windows"

In an admin PowerShell terminal, enter the following command:

```text
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
```

Save to the default location `c:/Users/YOU/.ssh/id_ed25519` and do not enter a passphrase. This will allow you to use the key without entering a password every time you push to GitHub.

Continue with the following commands:

```text
type c:/Users/YOU/.ssh/id_ed25519 | clip
Get-Service -Name ssh-agent | Set-Service -StartupType Manual
Start-Service ssh-agent
ssh-add c:/Users/YOU/.ssh/id_ed25519
```

=== "Linux/Mac"

In a terminal window, enter the following command:

```text
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
```

Save to the default location `~/.ssh/id_ed25519` and do not enter a passphrase. This will allow you to use the key without entering a password every time you push to GitHub.

Continue with the following commands:

```text
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```

To add the key to your GitHub account, go to <https://github.com/settings/ssh/new>.

- Name your key something descriptive.
- Select "Authentication Key" as the key type.
- Paste the contents of `id_ed25519.pub` into the "Key" box.
- Click "Add SSH Key".

Open another terminal to test your connection to GitHub by entering the following command:

```text
ssh -T [email protected]
```

Type "yes" when it asks if you want to continue connecting.
You should see a message like "Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access."

Additional GitHub documentation can be found [here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent) and [here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/testing-your-ssh-connection).

## Enable Commit Signing

!!! warning
You must have a verified email address on GitHub to sign commits.

To add a signing key to your GitHub account, go to <https://github.com/settings/ssh/new>.

- Name your key something descriptive.
- Select "Signing Key" as the key type.
- Paste the contents of `id_ed25519.pub` into the "Key" box.
- Click "Add SSH Key".

Update your git configuration to automatically sign commits with your key:

=== "Windows"
```text
git config --global user.signingkey c:/Users/YOU/.ssh/id_ed25519
git config --global gpg.format=ssh
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
```

=== "Linux/Mac"
```text
git config --global user.signingkey ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
git config --global gpg.format=ssh
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
```

# :material-key: SSH and Commit Signing

This tutorial will guide you through setting up SSH keys and commit signing for GitHub. SSH keys are a more secure way to connect to GitHub, rather than other protocols like HTTPS. Commit signing is used to verify that commits are coming from you and have not been tampered with.

!!! warning
You must have a verified email address on GitHub to add SSH keys and sign commits.

## Create an SSH Key

=== "Windows"

In an admin PowerShell terminal, enter the following command:

```text
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

Save to the default location `c:/Users/YOU/.ssh/id_ed25519` and do not enter a passphrase. This will allow you to use the key without entering a password every time you push to GitHub.

Continue with the following commands:

```text

Get-Service -Name ssh-agent | Set-Service -StartupType Manual
Start-Service ssh-agent
ssh-add c:/Users/YOU/.ssh/id_ed25519
```

=== "Linux/Mac"

In a terminal window, enter the following command:

```text

```

Save to the default location `~/.ssh/id_ed25519` and do not enter a passphrase. This will allow you to use the key without entering a password every time you push to GitHub.

Continue with the following commands:

```text
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

```

To add the key to your GitHub account, go to <https://github.com/settings/ssh/new>.

- Name your key something descriptive.
- Select "Authentication Key" as the key type.
- Paste the contents of `id_ed25519.pub` into the "Key" box.
