Hello, I have never coded before and have recently decided to take a boot camp through UConn. I am more than halfway through the second section of the pre-work and have just started to run my first commands through the terminal on my Mac.
The first step was to set up an account on Github, which I did successfully. The second step was to create an SSH key, which I also did successfully. Next, it was time to copy and paste the ssh key into the settings on my Github account, which I also did successfully (or so I thought). Lastly, it was time to double-check my work using the command, "ssh -T git@github.com", this did not give me the results that I was looking for, and I did not receive a "permission denied" message, however, I did receive a "Bad configuration option" as well as a "no argument after keyword "identifyfile~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
I'm not sure where I went wrong exactly, I went through the steps two more times, and the last time I completely deleted all of my work and the SSH key from my GitHub account, and started completely from scratch. I still received the same message.
Can someone please explain to me if I went wrong somewhere or if there are any extra steps that I should be taking since I am working from a Mac?
