1. Copy the SSH key to your clipboard. You must only copy the public key not the private one. You can identify it by the
`.pub` suffix. By default, you can find the public key in `$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`.
On Linux you can use `xclip` on the command line. You may need to install it from your package manager.
On Linux, assuming you are using Wayland, you can use `wl-copy` on the command line. You may need to install `wl-clipboard` from your package manager.
```shell
wl-copy -t text/plain < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
```
If your system uses X11, use `xclip` instead. Again, you may need to install it.
```shell
xclip -selection clipboard < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
