Main Reference Recap

1. 14:30 cloning through VS Code - git clone ssh from github
2. 17:30 git commit command - git status
3. 18:15 git add command - git add.
4. 19:15 committing - git commit -m "Title of changes" -m "Some descriptions"
5. 20:20 git push command - git push
6. 20:30 SSH Keys

   1. Generating SSH key
      

      Create a new key OR

      a. Key in

      ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
      b. Enter the key name（Let say you enter the key as thekey)

      Already have a key

      a. Key in （Let say you enter the key as thekey)

      ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
      

      b. Choose whether to overwrite the key

      THEN
      Enter the passphrase

          Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]
          Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]
      

      (if no passphrase just leave it empty by clicking on the "Enter" key)

   2. Check whether the SSH key is generated

      ls OR

      a. Key in

      ls
      

      b. Notice that the last 2 rows are the generated key

      thekey -- private (only you can access)
      thekey.pub -- public (open to the public to access)
      

      ls -al ~/the-key-name.pub

      a. Key in

      ls -al ~/the-key-name.pub
      

      (change the-key-name to the name you generated)
      In our case will be:

      ls -al ~/thekey.pub
      

   3. Copy the public key
