$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/<username>/.ssh/id_rsa):

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
Your identification has been saved in /Users/<username>/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/<username>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:O9gHqGxZOua51PfVNL6GZN/FixT6nOuXptCTOzhkqd0 <hostname>
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 2048]----+
