Is this ok [y/N]: 

At github.com,

Do sign up for an account if you have not done so. At github.com, create a new Repository and give it a new name. Look at the pix for more information

Once you have created the repository, you should have something like this

At the profile Icon, click settings, you should enter the page where “SSH and GPG Keys” are present

Click the new SSH icon

Type the name of the key (Your Choice) and copy your ssh public keys into the key box. This can be found at ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or ~/.ssh/ed25519.pub. Copy the whole string and paste into the key box

Git Clone the Repository URL

Go back to your repository and copy the code

Next

At the Linux Server….

git clone the URL

$ git clone git@github.com:XXXXXXXXXX/ansible_cluster.git             
Cloning into 'ansible_cluster'...

At your directory go to the ansible_cluster folder, you should be able to see the README.md file which is same as your git repository.

$ cd ansible_cluster
$ cat README.md
# ansible_cluster

Setting some basic git information like user name and email address

$ git config --global user.name "user1"
$ git config --global user.email "user1@hello.com"
$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[user]
        name = melvin soh
        email = melvin@ntu.edu.sg
[init]
        defaultBranch = main

Pushing and cloning to the git repository

Let’s make some changes to the README.md

$ vim README.md

#ansible_tutorial
