old key not supported by github #2

Open GraffN opened 3 weeks ago

GraffN commented 3 weeks ago

GitHub improved security by dropping older, insecure key types on March 15, 2022. As of that date, DSA keys ( ssh-dss ) are no longer supported. You cannot add new DSA keys to your personal account on GitHub.

this guide created ssh-dss keys and does not work

Hi @GraffN and thank you for your comment on the DSA keys. A few weeks ago, I added a note to the README.md file explaining that I suggest using external Git clients instead of the Eclipse integration. In my opinion, almost every Git client is easier to use and has a richer set of features than Eclipse.

For an SSH key-based connection to GitHub, refer to the official GitHub guide on SSH keys: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh

I furthermore welcome you to open a pull request to update/fix the guide (e.g., by using RSA keys instead of DSA).
