The original text could be quite confusing:

```
Open your ~/.ssh/config file, then modify the file, replacing ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 if you are not using the default location and name for your id_ed25519 key.

Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
1. It said "Open your ~/.ssh/config file, then modify the file, replacing ~/.ssh/id_ed25519" -- I was thinking, open that file, and then modify it, BUT HOW? AND THEN, replacing the file content of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 ?  By what content?
2. And then it said, "if you are not using the default location and name for your id_ed25519 key"... location and name?  What location of name?  It turned out it meant the "path" and the "filename"... and "if you are using"? It actually meant "if you used" in the previous steps.
