For example: `$ atom ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub` {% endcapture %} {{ mac-content-copy | markdownify }}

{% capture win-content-copy %} Copy the public SSH key to your clipboard. ```none $ clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ``` If your SSH key file has a different name than the example code, modify the filename to match your current setup. >**Tip:** If `clip` doesn't work, navigate the hidden `.ssh` folder, open the file in a text editor, and copy it to your clipboard.
