SSH Setup Script: Universal for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.

1. Generate SSH key (use ed25519 if supported)

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "$USER@$(hostname)"

OR fallback to RSA if needed (e.g., for older services)

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$USER@$(hostname)"

2. Start the ssh-agent in the background

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

3. Add your new SSH private key to the ssh-agent

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

4. Display your public key (copy this to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, etc.)

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

echo "✅ SSH key generated. Now add the public key above to your Git provider."

💡 You only need to generate and add the SSH key once per machine.

Here’s the Markdown content for your README.md:

🔐 Setting up SSH for Git Repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.)

This guide helps you set up a secure SSH connection for pushing code without typing your credentials every time. Works universally across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.

✅ 1. Generate SSH Key

Run this in your terminal:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
 
    💡 Replace the email with your Git account email.
 
Press Enter through prompts to use default location (~/.ssh/id_ed25519).
🔄 2. Start SSH Agent & Add Key
 
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
 
📋 3. Copy Public Key
 
Print and copy the contents of your SSH public key:
 
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
 
Paste this key into your Git provider’s SSH key settings:
 
    GitHub: https://github.com/settings/keys
 
    GitLab: https://gitlab.com/-/profile/keys
 
    Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/ssh-keys/
 
🚀 4. Test SSH Connection
 
For GitHub:
 
ssh -T [email protected]
 
For GitLab:
 
ssh -T [email protected]
 
You should see a success message confirming authentication.
🔁 5. Use SSH When Cloning
 
Use the SSH URL instead of HTTPS:
 
git clone [email protected]:your-username/your-repo.git
 
✅ Done! You can now push/pull without entering your password each time.
