Saving ssh key fails

Question

i just started a Git tutorial and I get to a deadend: I try to generate a rsa key part and it fails. I did this, in git bash:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C \"myemail@myem         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I had to provide the full path using Windows conventions. At this step:

Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/Eva/.ssh/id_rsa):

Provide the following value:

c:\users\eva\.ssh\id_rsa
