What should I do? I totally confused

If you are struggling to set up SSH, it isn't a big deal for this course. You will simply have to use the HTTPS address instead to push/pull from/to your remote repo on GitHub.

You will have to type your password a number of times, but other than that, it is not a problem.

Setting up SSH for your account, while really convenient and something you probably want to do later on is only optional here. So don't worry :)

We will be having a hands-on session at noon (Pacific) during which all of this will make a lot more sense.

It's ok if not everything does at this point. Don't worry.

Try understanding what you can for now and it will all make sense when we practice together in an hour.

when setting up ssh, which email do you use --> git config or github account?

[prosoitos]

I am not sure why you need an email to set up SSH. But if you do, then you want to use your GitHub address:

• the email you entered in git config is the signature of your commits (it tells everyone who made the commits). So this address has nothing to do with GitHub. It is more for your collaborators/other people who contribute to the project
• the email you used for your GitHub account (which can be the same or different) is the one associated with that account (to log in, get notifications, etc.)
