Setting up Priate Key Access\

An easy way to authenticate with remote git server like GitHub is to use an ssh key pair.

On a CentOs environment, you can generate an ssh key pair like this
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

After generating the key pair, copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

[root@aryan-34252e5f2 ~]# ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:mTVGOKHkJ7uWbiDVtm0cecEJfTEH53g1mnu8VsPnif4 root@aryan-34252e5f2.mylabserver.c om
The key’s randomart image is:
+—[RSA 4096]—-+
| . o*..+oo..|
| o .o.= .*o..|
| .+ .o+o.oo |
| . o+o=.. .+ |
| . ..+So . =o|
| . . .o+ o.*|
| . .+. . +.|
| o. . . |
| .. ..E |
+—-[SHA256]—–+

Configure Your Name and Email

After Installing git, you need to set the name and email that will be associated with your commits. When using GitHub, it is best to use an email address that is associated with your GitHub account

git config –globaluser.name”<your name>”
git config –global user.email<your email>

git –version
