How do I access my SSH public key?

Question

I've just generated my RSA key pair, and I wanted to add that key to GitHub.

I tried cd id_rsa.pub and id_rsa.pub, but no luck. How can I access my SSH public key?

Answer 1

To access the ssh public key you can use 

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 

Or

cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

To list the public keys you need to use:

$ ls ~/.ssh/*.pub

Thus, you can access the ssh public key.
