How to use

  • The repositories created in this course are private. The only people with access are you, me, and the TAs for this course.
  • Your answers to the labs are generally going to go in a README.md file in a folder corresponding to the lab number. Each lab may work a little differently and have you add additional files and folders.

  • ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

  • Pay attention to where the key pair was saved by default
  • NOTE You need to create a key pair on each system you want to use.
    • AWS Ubuntu system = 1 key pair
    • Your system = 1 key pair
    • A system at wright state = 1 key pair
  1. Open the folder where the key pair was saved. Look for the file that ends with .pub
