About
ssh-keygen is a Linux command for generating ssh keys.
Just typing the command without any arguments will generate a new key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa
(a prompt offers to let you change this), with an optional passphrase (also queried by prompt).
It can also be used to remove conflicting entries from the .known-hosts
file.
