Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent still shows "$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa" when it should show "$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519" #1352
Description
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent
As a Linux user (have not tested to see for other OS') I see this
As you can see it states to run the command $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa however by this point you have created a id_ed25519 ssh key so this will not work. For novices or people who like "TLDR" this will be confusing and create a bad user experience.
Additional information
I did fork the docs repo in an attempt to update it, but then I came across an unexpected element I was not aware of. The .md files use templating and inject data into the view e.g. {% data reusables.ssh.dsa-support %}.
After more digging, I found https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/data/reusables/ssh/add-ssh-key-to-ssh-agent-commandline.md which is where it would appear its coming from.
- I would like someone to confirm does this page toggle between different views based on operating systems ?
- changing the above ssh agent .md file would that change it for all views?
- just guessing here so apologies if I am wrong.
Thanks.
