Trying to set up an SSH key for git but .ssh/id_rsa.pub won't open. Please help
Hi Melisa, welcome to the Community!
How are you trying to open it? Can you try on your command line:
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub
Let us know if you're still having difficulties!
Best regards,
Ana
If you are on Windows and attempt to open an ssh key file like, (id_rsa.pub) Windows will try to open with Microsoft Publisher due to a conflicting file extension. Right click the .pub file and "open with", choose a text editor, (notepad, notepad ++ etc.).
