The best practice is create the SSH Keys on local machine not remote machine. Login with username specified in Github Secrets. Generate a RSA Key-Pair: - ```bash - ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com" - ``` +
+rsa +

+ +```bash +ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com" +``` + +

+ed25519 +

+ +```bash +ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 200 -C "your_email@example.com" +``` + +

Add newly generated key into Authorized keys. Read more about authorized keys [here](https://www.ssh.com/ssh/authorized_keys/). +

+ ```bash cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b@B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys' ``` +
