hi

My name is kalpesh. I am trying to create command in cloud 9 as  ssh-add ~/.ssh/<private_key_file> and message shows like  syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

so how I can solve this problem?

You need to replace <private_key_file> by the path where you store your private key file, by fault it is 

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
