Step 5: Setup SSH keys in Bitbucket

Go to Git bash console and type

ssh-keygen

It will prompt you to specify where you want to save the ssh keys and to enter passwords.

You can use default location and no password. Type enter 3 times

Go to the location your public key is(mine is /c/Users/FCP/.ssh/id_rsa.pub), you can open the file with notepad and copy the text or use the cat command to view it in git bash. You can also navigate to the file and view it using vscode. All examples are below

Using git bash:

Eg Enter

cat /c/Users/FCP/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

This will give you something like this:

$ cat /c/Users/FCP/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

ssh-rsa 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 FCP@DESKTOP-Q59LJHR2J
