Steps:-
[1]
Open Git Bash.
Enter ls -al ~/.ssh to see if existing SSH keys are present:
Check the directory listing to see if you already have a public SSH key. By default, the filenames of the public keys are one of the following:
If you don't have an existing public and private key pair, or don't wish to use any that are available to connect to GitHub, then generate a new SSH key.
If you see an existing public and private key pair listed (for example id_rsa.pub and id_rsa) that you would like to use to connect to GitHub, you can add your SSH key to the ssh-agent.

Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent
After you've checked for existing SSH keys, you can generate a new SSH key to use for authentication, then add it to the ssh-agent.
If you don't already have an SSH key, you must generate a new SSH key. If you're unsure whether you already have an SSH key, check for existing keys.
Generating a new SSH key
Open Git Bash.
Paste the text below, substituting in your GitHub email address.

Checking for existing SSH keys -
Before you generate an SSH key, you can check to see if you have any existing SSH keys.
Enter ls -al ~/.ssh to see if existing SSH keys are present:
$ ls -al ~/.ssh
# Lists the files in your .ssh directory, if they exist
Check the directory listing to see if you already have a public SSH key. By default, the filenames of the public keys are one of the following:
- id_rsa.pub
- id_ecdsa.pub
- id_ed25519.pub
If you don't have an existing public and private key pair, or don't wish to use any that are available to connect to GitHub, then generate a new SSH key.
If you see an existing public and private key pair listed (for example id_rsa.pub and id_rsa) that you would like to use to connect to GitHub, you can add your SSH key to the ssh-agent.

Generating a new SSH key
Open Git Bash.
Paste the text below, substituting in your GitHub email address.
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
This creates a new ssh key, using the provided email as a label.> Generating public/private rsa key pair.
When you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key," press Enter. This accepts the default file location.> Enter a file in which to save the key (/c/Users/you/.ssh/id_rsa):[Press enter]
At the prompt, type a secure passphrase. For more information, see "Working with SSH key passphrases".> Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]
> Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]
