+Paste the text below, substituting in your GitHub email address.
+
+ `$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"`

+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.
+
