New to Git.
I already have git installed from another company I worked at. If I already have git installed and have a public do I need to generate a new public key if I’m working in another company. Or does the public key just represent your machine.
Not sure I understand what exactly the public key is about.
Your SSH keypair represents your identity, identified by either an email address (convenient) or a username@machine pair (inconvenient). You should generate new keys if you have a new corporate email address; technically(*), you can decide whether or not to link it with your GitHub profile, which supports several keys per user.
(*) I’m not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, and I’m not sure whether you’re allowed to have multiple GitHub accounts. Check their terms of use.
