I am trying to create a SSH Key for Github. I keep receiving an error when I test my set up.
I have a macbook pro version 12.0.1 I have tried over and over again. I cant figure out the problem. Please help
Step 1: Created a new SSH key ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "my email" (this step worked perfectly)
Step 2: Added the SSH Key to the ssh-agent eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" (this also worked for me)
Step 3: Copied the SSH key to my clipboard Pasted onto Github where it say add SSH keys
Step 4: Tested my set up and got an error... /Users/teresarodriguez/.ssh/config: line 4: Bad configuration option: identifyfile /Users/teresarodriguez/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
You have wrong value in your ssh configuration, as the error states. You need to open /Users/teresarodriguez/.ssh/config and fix it
The error is likely that you have a typo. The option should be called IdentityFile, while you have identifyfile in there
