How to configure ssh to log in to Linux using git bash

1. First, generate the public key and private key files on the Linux server. The default storage directory is ~/.ssh.

ssh-keygen

You can leave the password blank to log in without a password in the future.

2. Copy the private key file to your local computer.

scp [email protected]:/root/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh

It is best to put the private key file in the ~/.ssh directory. Otherwise, when logging in using ssh, you need to use -i to specify the private key file.

3. The public key file needs to be added to the server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

4. Modify the configuration file to allow login using a secret key.

vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Just remove the # before the comment.

Then restart the Linux ssh service

systemctl restart sshd.service

Older versions without systemctl need to use service sshd restart

You can use ssh [email protected] to log in:
