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.

Just follow these 5 steps:

  1. Go to this address, and download Git for Windows, after the download install it with default settings
  2. Open Git Bash that you just installed (Start->All Programs->Git->Git Bash)
  3. Type in the following: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
  4. 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.
  5. 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:

  1. Start the terminal
  2. Navigate to your home directory by typing: cd ~/
  3. Execute the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
  4. 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.
  5. Be sure that you don’t copy any whitespace while copying public key’s content (id_rsa.pub)

Linux (Ubuntu)

  3. ssh-keygen -t rsa (when prompted, enter password, key name can stay the same)
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
