  1. Copy the SSH public key to your clipboard.

If your SSH public key file has a different name than the example code, modify the filename to match your current setup. When copying your key, don't add any newlines or whitespace. {% mac %}

$ pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub
# Copies the contents of the id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub file to your clipboard

{% tip %}

Tip: If pbcopy isn't working, you can locate the hidden .ssh folder, open the file in your favorite text editor, and copy it to your clipboard.

{% endtip %} {% endmac %} {% windows %}

$ clip < ~/.ssh/id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub
# Copies the contents of the id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub file to your clipboard

{% tip %}

Tip: If clip isn't working, you can locate the hidden .ssh folder, open the file in your favorite text editor, and copy it to your clipboard.

{% endtip %} {% endwindows %} {% linux %}

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub
# Then select and copy the contents of the id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub file
# displayed in the terminal to your clipboard

{% tip %}

Tip: Alternatively, you can locate the hidden .ssh folder, open the file in your favorite text editor, and copy it to your clipboard.

{% endtip %} {% endlinux %}
