2. Add your GPG keys into Github
3. Create your SSH keys
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "YOUR EMAIL@GMAIL.com"
// Remember the  passphrase it is essential to verified/sign
4. make sure that it is visible on your "passwords and keys"

5. Then On your terminal
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

copy paste its content to Github

6. Set some git config if yor have not done earlier


7. That's it. Whenever you make a commit and push you will get a promt asking for pass phares (in step 3) and github credentials as usual respectively.

TADA
