Generate SSH key

Question

I am trying to follow the instructions on this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/set-up-an-ssh-key-728138079.html I am getting stuck on step #4, "List the contents of .ssh to view the key files.". How do I go about doing this? I tried typing in dir .ssh and am seeing the following: . .. id_rsa id_rsa.pub It also includes the size of each file. I am not clear on what I am supposed to do with this information - perhaps there are some implied steps I am missing somewhere? Moving along to Step 3.2, it says I have not configured any keys from my Bitbucket account.

Hi, welcome to the Community!

Looks like you're getting the expected response, the command is displaying two files, one for the public key (id_rsa.pub) and one for the private key (id_rsa). That's just to re-assure that you did it correctly so far. You can continue with the next step and add the key to the ssh-agent.

Let us know if you have any difficulties!
