I did the following steps:
- goto http://github.com/ and click on 'sign up now!'
- install github on my local computer (I used the version that came with my SUSE distribution)
- Create a local directory for files to be uploaded and 'cd directory'
- Generate ssh keys and put public key on github
- Upload files to github.
More information about settitng up ssh keys
for more information see this website:
http://help.github.com/linux-key-setup/
I did the following, first change to the directory where the files to be uploadded are kept, then
name@computername:~/directory> ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "myname@domain.com" Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/.ssh/id_rsa):/$/directory/.ssh/id_rsa already exists. Overwrite (y/n)? y Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: ??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:??:?? myname@domain.com The key's randomart image is: +--[ RSA 2048]----+ | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | | ??????????????? | +-----------------+ |
If you have any problems, or to check if it works, try:
