- Many Git servers authenticate using SSH public keys. In order to provide a public key, each user in your system must generate one if they don’t already have one. This process is similar across all operating systems. First, you should check to make sure you don’t already have a key.

- Ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C 'your github's email' # Creates a new ssh key # Generating public/private rsa key pair. This will generate a key for you.You have to copy that and insert into your Github's account (just one time). Steps how to do It.

This version of GitHub Enterprise will be discontinued on This version of GitHub Enterprise was discontinued on 2020-01-22. No patch releases will be made, even for critical security issues. For better performance, improved security, and new features, upgrade to the latest version of GitHub Enterprise.For help with the upgrade, contact GitHub Enterprise support.
If you don't have an existing GPG key, you can generate a new GPG key to use for signing commits and tags.
In this article
Supported GPG key algorithms
GitHub Enterprise supports several GPG key algorithms. If you try to add a key generated with an unsupported algorithm, you may encounter an error.
- RSA
- ElGamal
- DSA
- ECDH
- ECDSA
- EdDSA
Generating a GPG key
Note: Before generating a new GPG key, make sure you've verified your email address. If you haven't verified your email address, you won't be able to sign commits and tags with GPG.
Generate Public Private Key
- Download and install the GPG command line tools for your operating system. We generally recommend installing the latest version for your operating system.
- Open TerminalTerminalGit Bash.
- Generate a GPG key pair. Since there are multiple versions of GPG, you many need to consult the relevant man page to find the appropriate key generation command. Your key must use RSA.
- If you are on version 2.1.17 or greater, paste the text below to generate a GPG key pair.
- If you are not on version 2.1.17 or greater, the
gpg --full-generate-key
command doesn't work. Paste the text below and skip to step 6.
- At the prompt, specify the kind of key you want, or press
Enter
to accept the defaultRSA and RSA
. - Enter the desired key size. Your key must be at least
4096
bits. - Enter the length of time the key should be valid. Press
Enter
to specify the default selection, indicating that the key doesn't expire. - Verify that your selections are correct.
- Enter your user ID information.Note: When asked to enter your email address, ensure that you enter the verified email address for your GitHub account.
Github Generate Public Private Key Pair
- Type a secure passphrase.
- Use the
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
command to list GPG keys for which you have both a public and private key. A private key is required for signing commits or tags.Note: Some GPG installations on Linux may require you to usegpg2 --list-keys --keyid-format LONG
to view a list of your existing keys instead. In this case you will also need to configure Git to usegpg2
by runninggit config --global gpg.program gpg2
. - From the list of GPG keys, copy the GPG key ID you'd like to use. In this example, the GPG key ID is
3AA5C34371567BD2
: - Paste the text below, substituting in the GPG key ID you'd like to use. In this example, the GPG key ID is
3AA5C34371567BD2
: - Copy your GPG key, beginning with
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
and ending with-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
. - Add the GPG key to your GitHub account.
