Setting up a private GIT repo in linux
Generate an SSH key:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
The email must match your github email!!!
Start the SSH agent & Add your key:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Copy the public key:
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Add the key to github:
- Go to Settings -> SSH and GPG keys -> New SSH Key.
- Give it a title (like "Linux Desktop"), paste the key into the field, and save.
Clone what you need:
git clone git@github.com:username/private-repo.git
