Git Set Public Ssh Key

SSH keys provide a more secure way of logging into a server than using a password alone. While a password can eventually be cracked with a brute force attack, SSH keys are nearly impossible to decipher by brute force alone. Generating a key pair provides you with two long strings of characters: a public and a private key. .and then make the necessary folders for ssh and a file for authorizedkeys: # cd /root # mkdir.ssh # cd.ssh # nano authorizedkeys Then put the relevant public key in here, I pasted mine in from near the top of Putty-Gen, and save / write-out. Then restart the sshd daemon, still as root, with: # systemctl restart sshd # exit # exit. Set up SSH Keys Now that we got Git running, it is time to set up SSH keys for Git, so that we don’t need to input password every time. It is more convenient but also safer. The concept is we create a public/private key pair; put the public key to the remote server, and keep the private key on your local machine.
