When I execute the command $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" get the error message:

Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Program Files (x86)/GNU/SSH/.ssh/id_rsa) : Could not create directory '/c/Program Files (x86)/GNU/SSH/. ssh': No such file o directory Enter passphrase (Empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase Again: Saving key "/c/Program Files (x86) /GNU/SSH/. ssh/id_rsa" failed: No such file or directory

I tried to run with administrator and get the same message

git ssh

  • Utilize sudo ssh-keygen ...

  • But what about the vestments like the email address ?

  • would be in a second step ?

  • I am receiving the message: Could not create directory '/c/Program Files (x86)/GNU/SSH/. ssh': No such file or directory

  • I have to create that folder ?

  • remembering that I am using windows Administrator mode

  • Funny... what is the value of $HOME? That folder .ssh should be in the $HOME user, not in program files

  • C: Users alex.jose.silva.ssh has nothing!

  • I used the default installation!

    This issue is not about artifact versioning or communication/use of Github. There’s no reason to have such tags

    Nor does it make sense to have git, it being analyzed individually

Able to generate the . ssh key in windows. After manually creating the SSH folder in the /GNU directory (this folder is created after the default installation in windows)

After that I executed the command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

perfectly generating ssh key:

I can not explain why in windows there is this bug, did not happen with me on linux. Anyway, problem solved.
