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 faced the same problem. Solution on windows:

1. open start menu and type cmd
2. Right and choose run as administrator
3. Then type cd Users_YOURUSERNAME_\ Replace "YOURUSERNAME" with your windows account name
4. The type: mkdir .ssh

This will create a .ssh folder.
