~/.ssh/config - No such file or directory

[SecretSurfSpot]

Hi All,

I'm working my way through the: "Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent" Page - url below: "https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/"

On the section "Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent" I'm hitting an issue:

At Step 2, I enter the command "~/.ssh/config", but get the output "No such file or directory"

Everything up to this point seems to be fine:

• I generated an ssh key.
• eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" returned: "Agent pid 1834"

I'm on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks, Andrew

looks like ~/.ssh/config is the path to a config file in the .ssh directory, cd into .ssh from the root directory and the config file should be there to check or modify hope that helps

Thanks Lucx14 for the response.

I've looked in the ~/.ssh directory, but there is no "config" file in there.

I have however managed go progress and gotten to be able to push and pull to github, so I'm guessing that step wasn't absolutely necessary?

Thanks again.

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I've attached a screenshot of my ~/.ssh config file for reference, anyway.
