2.2. Making a SSH Key

If you already have an existing SSH key, you can use it for Fedora work. In that case, proceed to Étape 2 in the following procedure. If you do not have a SSH key yet, start with the first step below:
  1. Enter the following command: 
    ssh-keygen -t rsa
    Accept the default location (~/.ssh/id_rsa) and enter a passphrase.

    Remember Your Passphrase

    You must have your passphrase to commit translations. It cannot be recovered if you forget it.
  2. Changez les autorisations de vos clé et répertoire .ssh : 
    chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
  3. This public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) will be used for your Fedora account creation described in Section 2.4, « Applying for an Account ».
