Git Extensions Hub Generate New Private Key Git
Cross-platform multi-language tool to create EOS public/private key pairs offline
Git Code
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. Jul 12, 2017 The way to do this is to generate and upload a private key to OpenShift, and then to authorize it with your Git hosting provider. Step 1: Create the Key. First, generate your SSH key if you don't have one. To do this, I recommend following these directions from GitHub. Key Generation using PuTTY on Windows. Alternatively, if you're using Windows, you can work with PuTTY to generate your SSH keys.
Instructions
- Download for your platform from Github Releases: https://github.com/eoscafe/eos-key/releases
- Run on airgapped (ideal) computer or with no internet connection
- Generate keys and/or Validate your keys

Extra information
There are only five runtime dependencies in this project:
- eosjs-ecc: Official EOS.IO library for generating/validating keys.
- vue: Frontend library like React/Angular,
- vue-electron: Integrating Vue into Electron,
- vue-i18n: Provide efficient internationalization with English, Chinese and Korean
- vue-router: Manages which page to load in application
The application is intended to be run offline and will make no external requests. If you see any external requests being made, your machine may be compromised before installation.
Virus Scans:
MacOS Virus Scan (100% safe, 0/57): VirusTotal
Linux Virus Scan (100% safe, 0/58): VirusTotal
Windows Virus Scan (98.3% safe, 1/58): VirusTotalThe false positive is confirmed by MetaDefender Report to be a false positive, the anti-virus flags 'EOS' in file contents and thinks it is a coin miner.
Manual build
Hi there! This post will be pretty straightforward and will cover Windows, Mac, and Linux, so if you don’t know how to do it already, read on.
Windows
Just follow these 5 steps:
- Go to this address, and download Git for Windows, after the download install it with default settings
- Open Git Bash that you just installed (Start->All Programs->Git->Git Bash)
- Type in the following: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- Open file your_home_directory/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
- Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)
Note: your_home_directory is either C:Usersyour_username (on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10), or C:Documents and Settingsyour_username (on Windows XP)
Mac
https://tvcx.over-blog.com/2020/10/moving-screensavers-for-mac-download.html. Follow these 5 steps:
- Start the terminal
- Navigate to your home directory by typing: cd ~/
- Execute the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- Open the file you’ve just created ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
- Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)
Linux (Ubuntu)
Follow these 5 steps:
- Open console
- cd ~
- ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
- open file /home/your_username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with your favorite text editor, and copy contents to your Git repository’s keys field (GitHub, beanstalk, or any other repository provider), under your account.
- Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)
Additional info
When you create private/public SSH keys on your machine (that’s what you did in the above steps), it’s not enough. You need to give your public key to the repository in order to pair the Git server with your local machine (that’d be steps 4. and 5. above).
Most of the popular repositories will give you web interface access to the application, and here’s how it looks like on Github:
After this step, you’re ready to start using Git.
Conclusion
I hope this wasn’t too complicated to follow, and also I hope it was helpful to someone!
Cheers!
