GitHub ssh key not accepted?

Question

SSH

I do the key generation in the bash according to the GitHub instructions, the SHA256 key is generated:, I paste it on GitHub
. In response, I get:

key is invalid. It must begin with 'ssh-ed25519', 'ssh-rsa', 'ssh-dss', 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp384', or 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp521'. Check that you're copying the public half of the key

Should I use a different key generation/encryption algorithm?

Answer 1

You need to upload the public key to the server, but you are trying to upload the key fingerprint.
