Step 2: Generating a SSH key

SSH keys are used to safely connect to remote machines, without a password, among other things.

If you already have a ~~SSK~~SSH key, you can skip to the next step.

We are going to generate a SSH key. (no clue how that works on windows!)

Linux

On Linux, simply type ssh-keygen -t ed25519.
Leave default location (~/.ssh/id_ed25519).
For the password, you can leave it empty if you can guarantee that no one else will ever have access to that file, else set one.
