Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account

About addition of SSH keys to your account

You can access and write data in repositories on GitHub.com using SSH (Secure Shell Protocol). When you connect via SSH, you authenticate using a private key file on your local machine. For more information, see "About SSH."

You can also use SSH to sign commits and tags. For more information about commit signing, see "About commit signature verification."

After you generate an SSH key pair, you must add the public key to GitHub.com to enable SSH access for your account.

Prerequisites

Before adding a new SSH key to your account on GitHub.com, complete the following steps.

Check for existing SSH keys. For more information, see "Checking for existing SSH keys."
Generate a new SSH key and add it to your machine's SSH agent. For more information, see "Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent."

Adding a new SSH key to your account

After adding a new SSH authentication key to your account on GitHub.com, you can reconfigure any local repositories to use SSH. For more information, see "Switching remote URLs from HTTPS to SSH."

Note: GitHub improved security by dropping older, insecure key types on March 15, 2022.

As of that date, DSA keys (ssh-dss) are no longer supported. You cannot add new DSA keys to your personal account on GitHub.com.

RSA keys (ssh-rsa) with a valid_after before November 2, 2021 may continue to use any signature algorithm. RSA keys generated after that date must use a SHA-2 signature algorithm. Some older clients may need to be upgraded in order to use SHA-2 signatures.

SSH 公開鍵をクリップボードにコピーします。

SSH 公開鍵のファイル名がサンプルコードと異なる場合は、現在の設定に一致するようにファイル名を変更してください。キーをコピーする際には、改行や空白を追加しないでください。
```
$ pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  # Copies the contents of the id_ed25519.pub file to your clipboard
```
ヒント: pbcopy が機能しない場合は、非表示の .ssh フォルダーを探し、お気に入りのテキストエディターでファイルを開き、クリップボードにコピーできます。
```
$ clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  # Copies the contents of the id_ed25519.pub file to your clipboard
```
ヒント: clip が機能しない場合は、非表示の .ssh フォルダーを探し、お気に入りのテキストエディターでファイルを開き、クリップボードにコピーできます。
```
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  # Then select and copy the contents of the id_ed25519.pub file
  # displayed in the terminal to your clipboard
```
ヒント: あるいは、非表示の .ssh フォルダーを探し、お気に入りのテキストエディターでファイルを開き、クリップボードにコピーできます。

GitHub CLI の詳細については、「GitHub CLI について」を参照してください。

Before you can use the GitHub CLI to add an SSH key to your account, you must authenticate to the GitHub CLI. For more information, see gh auth login in the GitHub CLI documentation.

At present, you can only use GitHub CLI to add SSH authentication keys, you cannot add SSH signing keys.

To add an SSH authentication key to your GitHub account, use the ssh-key add subcommand, specifying your public key.

gh ssh-key add KEY-FILE

To include a title for the new key, use the -t or --title flag.

gh ssh-key add KEY-FILE --title "personal laptop"

If you generated your SSH key by following the instructions in "Generating a new SSH key", you can add the key to your account with this command.

gh ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
