SSH Keys

Generating a new SSH key

cd ~/.ssh/

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
Enter file in which to save the key (~/.ssh/id_rsa):
  > <client-name>_rsa # eg my-client_rsa

# hit enter twice for no passphrase

cat <client-name>_rsa.pub

# Copy paste the text printed out in
#   the terminal into your "Add a new SSH Key" window
#   in Bitbucket, Github, Gitlab, etc

Add to your SSH Config

This allows you to have multiple SSH keys configured for multiple clients, and automagically select the correct key when talking to the relevant server.
