 When you are asked for a location and file name you can either keep the default location or choose a new one. If this is your only key we advice you accept the defaults and maintain the file name id_rsa. Should you have several keys you can name them according to your own preferences.

-You can also use a key generator such as [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|PuTTYgen]] instead of using the terminal. Please refer to the guidelines of the product on how to create the RSA key and the location of the file.
+Add the key to your ssh agent by issuing this commands on Linux/macOS or Git Bash for Windows (adapt to your id_rsa path):
+<code>
+$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
+$ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+</code>
