How do I access my SSH public key

Question

Hi Team,

I have created a RSA key pair, and I wanted to add that key to GitHub. I tried cd id_rsa.pub and id_rsa.pub, but not able to check. How can I access my SSH public key?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the cat command in your Linux system,

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

You can list all the public keys you have by doing:

$ ls ~/.ssh/*.pub
