In your terminal copy-paste the following command:

```bash
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
gh auth refresh -s write:public_key
```

It will prompt on the screen the content of the `id_ed25519.pub` file.
It will prompt a one time code (####-####) on the screen. Copy it and press `ENTER`, then paste the code in your browser and follow the instructions to **Authorize github**.

- Copy that text from `ssh` to the end of your email address
- Go to [github.com/settings/ssh](https://github.com/settings/keys)
- Click on the green button `New SSH key`
- Fill in the Title with your computer name (`Macbook Pro` for instance)
- Paste the **key**
- Finish by clicking on the **Add SSH key** green button.

To check that this step is completed, in the terminal run this.
Back in the terminal, press `ENTER` and run this:

```bash
ssh -T git@github.com
```

:warning: You will be prompted a warning, type `yes` then `ENTER`.

This is the expected result:

gh ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
```
# Hi --------! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access
```

:heavy_check_mark: If you got this message, the key was added to GitHub successfully :+1:

:x: If you encountered an error, you will have to try again. Do not hesitate to **contact a teacher**.

<summary>If <code>ssh -T git@github.com</code> does not work</summary>

Try running this command before trying again:

```bash
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
</details>
This should return `✓ Public key added to your account`. If not, do not hesitate to **contact a teacher**.
