Install Git
Note Git is already installed on macOS
Make sure you install Git Bash along with your installation, and leave everything else default
If you’re already using Linux I bet you know what Git is
For Ubuntu, run
apt-get install git
For Arch Linux, run
pacman -S git
Set up SSH tokens (This presentation might help guide)
First, run
ssh-keygen
per this tutorial (just generate the ssh key, then you need to open one of the files generated in the ~/.ssh directory)Then, add the ssh key to your GitHub account per this other tutorial in the CLI anywhere, and just leave everything default by pressing enterNavigate to
~/.ssh/
and openid_rsa.pub
in a text editorCopy the ssh key listed in this file into your GitHub’s SSH keys here
If you have multiple machines, you’ll need to do this for each machine (i.e. dual booting or using a VM)
