Lesson #2: Setting up a GitHub account

I have now created an account on GitHub which a web application allowing people and teams to work on their code and record all the changes made to it. My GitHub profile is at github.com/Cyrusty. I then created a repository for the code that will make up my site, my new repository is at github.com/Cyrusty/cy.rusty.space.

I also added in my public RSA key by going into the shell on my local computer and printing the contents out with the following command:

cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub

This printed out my public key which is shown below. It's no problem for me to show it here because it's public, people who have my public key can use it to encrypt or lock things so that only I can access them.

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC6gxSQCs9A5645IhmIJMnE/WxLEgqDTASj
/YloaV0fI4/b3S3APQ/UqkejZxtH7ctJrRKxD3gQ3HwXZPzmiCLOUw2Pji1BOIP/5gSB1cpD4ewK3

/JDb8QyL9NFdoEa6MbfPbouTpQ2If3ZIE238SGR2FB4qxBFxKY0Tz4hFlr+3tBqnQPKLWDmWnh cyrusty@cyrusty

I could then select it, copy it and paste it into the text-box in GitHub's page for add a new key.
