I am having trouble creating keys for GitHub. I am following the instructions from How to use TortoiseGit.

At Creating a SSH key for GitHub:

  1. Open PuTTygen, generate a key and save your private key. Mark the key in the text area and paste it into your github account settings (SSH Public Keys→Add another public key). Check out the GitHub SSH guide for PuTTygen (keep your passphrase empty by the way) (give your key any name on GitHub)
  2. Start pageant and add your private key by right clicking on the icon and choosing “Add Key”, load the key saved in the previous step

I am having trouble at step 1. I don’t know how to “Mark the key in the text area and paste it into your github account settings”.

Thanks

    Log into http://www.github.com, then in the top right hand corner there is a link entitled “Account Settings”, then after clicking it, there is a list on the left hand side of the page, click the one that says “SSH Public Keys”.
