Now, We need to say Git hub that my laptop is valid to make
a connection.
For this, we need to generate a SSH key in local and add the
same in GitHub.
Generate ssh Key:
Open Git Bash.
Paste the text below,
substituting in your GitHub email address.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C
"your_email@example.com"

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
When you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save
the key," press Enter. This accepts the default file location.
Enter a file in which to save the key
(/Users/you/.ssh/id_rsa): [Press enter]
At the prompt, type a secure passphrase. For more
information, see "Working with SSH key passphrases".
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]
Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]
Here is the ssh key generates: C:\Users\User_Account\.ssh ( Replace User_Account with system login
id)
File Name : id_rsa.pub
Now, Browse https://github.com/settings/profile
Click on SSH and GPG keys link on the left hand side
Click on ‘new SSH key’ button and then copy FULL content of id_rsa.pub file and paste in the ‘key’
