Hello I am very new to using zsh terminal and am trying to set up my SSH key with github. According to 
CodePudding user response:
Adding your key to your ~/.ssh/config (using, as noted, a text editor) is only needed to:
- reference a private SSH key which is not a default one (as listed in "Checking for existing SSH keys"), like
id_rsa,id_ecdsa, orid_ed25519. - using a shorter SSH URL
Meaning your config file can look like:
Host gh
Hostname github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_private_key
IdentitiesOnly yes
And your SSH URL becomes gh:me/myRepository. (no more [email protected]:...)
You can test your SSH key with ssh -Tv gh.
