I have generated SSH keys for a new server installation according to the procedure outlined here. However, when I copy the contents of id_rsa.pub to my keys list on
id_rsa.pub
Recommended by GitHub
SSH-KEY
I worked with xclip to copy the id_rsa.pub key, like so:
xclip
sudo apt-get install xclip
xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Good Luck.
