Thank you for this helpful guide! Currently setting up my brand new mac mini. I've done this all before, year ago, including SSH, but this time, when I tried to generate my SSH key (ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "myemailadress@server[dot]com") I got put into a dquote> REPL, which I have never seen before. I have no idea what to do now. A google search didn't turn up anything for me.
figured it out. copying and pasting the command from this page was the problem: for some reason, the double quote character is not the same as if you actually type it on the keyboard.
Hey Brendan. Glad you figured it out. I did copy and paste the command referenced in your first comment and it worked for me! Sorry you had some difficulties. If you ever find yourself inside a place in the terminal you didn't wish to end up CTRL + C is a good first step to get out. Hope this helps.
