[@Pavelbrov]

Thank you for the great tutorial and eloquent speech! I have a question: at 7:50, you added a key to the config file, but since there are many other files, how does SSH determine which one to use in each case?

[@codewithsusan]

Good question! It will try each of them you have listed, stopping if it gets to one that works. To see the details of this, you can add the -v (verbose) flag to your SSH command (ssh -Tv [e-mail]) and it will show you all the details of the connection attempt, including output on which keys it tries.

[@Pavelbrov]

It seems it tries only the first key in the list and if the key is wrong, then the process fails. So we have to put the key at the top to make it work(

[@scarlettgriffith5095]

Thanks for video. I want to create SSH key, but I want other users also can use ssh to run git clone. what should I do?

[@codewithsusan]

In the settings for a repository on Github there is a Collaborators section where you can give other Github users access to that repository. As long as they have a SSH key set up with Github for the account you give access to, they should be able to clone the repository.

You might get a weird message when you try to test the ssh key at GitHub (using ssh -T [e-mail]):
The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.114.4)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbpZisF/zLDA0zPMSvHdkr4UvCOqU.
This key is not known by any other names.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
The solution is quite simple. According to GitHub Docs, "Testing your SSH connection", you should look at the fingerprint it gives in the message and compare it with the official fingerprint at GitHub (see link on that doc page), and if the two match, you can go ahead and reply "yes" to the question and everything will be fine from that point on.
Of course, you could just reply "yes" without checking that they match, but that would leave you open to a classic man-in-the-middle attack, which would be awfully embarrassing. 🙂.

[@Cool_Monk-ey]

thanks for that brother, I got this after that
"Hi USERNAME! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access."
is there anything wrong with this?
