test-ssh

This project is used as a playground for testing ssh connections between GitHub and IBM's development IDEs for RPG.

Generating SSH Key

For security reasons GitHub dropped insecure keys type on March 15, 2022. Since then user have to use ed25519 keys. Such keys can be generated like this:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

Replace the email used in the example with your GitHub email address.
