To connect to GitHub using an SSH key on Ubuntu, you'll need to generate an SSH key pair and then add the public key to your GitHub account. Here's how to do it:

Generate an SSH key pair on your Ubuntu computer by running the following command:

Copy code
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
This will create a new SSH key pair with the name id_rsa in the ~/.ssh directory. You'll be prompted to enter a passphrase for the key. It's recommended to use a strong passphrase to protect your SSH key.

Display the contents of the public key file by running the following command:

Copy code
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
This will display the contents of the id_rsa.pub file, which is your public SSH key.

Copy the contents of the id_rsa.pub file to your clipboard.

Sign in to your GitHub account and go to the "Settings" page.

In the "Settings" page, click on the "SSH and GPG keys" tab.

Click on the "New SSH key" button.

In the "Title" field, enter a descriptive title for your SSH key.

Paste the contents of your public SSH key into the "Key" field.

Click on the "Add SSH key" button to add your SSH key to your GitHub account.

After you've completed these steps, you should be able to use your SSH key to connect to GitHub from your Ubuntu computer.
