Git, how to generate public key

Question

how to generate a public key(to be used in GitHub/GitLab) using command line [Git Bash].

The command below generates the error sh.exe\": syntax error near une

Answer 1

The command to run is only

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "you@example.com"

All the rest beginning with line 2 of your script is the output of ssh-keygen.

And replace you@example.com with your email address.

Have a look at the manual for ssh-keygen to look for additional options. You should probably use a longer key by adding -b 4096 to the option list.
