First start by setting up your own public/private key pair set. This can use either DSA or RSA, so basically any key you setup will work. On most systems you can use ssh-keygen.
- First you'll want to cd into your .ssh directory. Open up the terminal and run:
cd ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen - Next you need to copy this to your clipboard.
- On OS X run:
cat id_rsa.pub | pbcopy - On Linux run:
cat id_rsa.pub | xclip - On Windows (via Cygwin/Git Bash) run:
cat id_rsa.pub | clip
- On OS X run:
- Add your key to your account via the website.
- Finally setup your .gitconfig.
git config --global user.name "jason"git config --global user.email jasonzeng@...- don't forget to restart your command line to make sure the config is reloaded
Thats it you should be good to clone and checkout.
