How to Copy Your SSH Public Key

Retrieve the Public Key

Open a terminal.
Display the public key:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Note

Your public key may be named differently, for example id_ed25519.pub or id_ecdsa.pub.

Copy the entire output line (e.g., ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza...).

Paste the copied key into the "SSH Keys" field when creating your VM.

Directly Copy the Key

Tip

You can copy the key directly from the terminal using clip (Windows) or pbcopy (Mac):

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy
