Note
Red Hat recommends to save all SSH keys in the default location. If an id_rsa file already exists, rename the new SSH key file to avoid overwriting the existing one.

Enter a passphrase or leave blank when prompted, then press Enter:

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa
Your public key has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
...

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa
Your public key has been saved in /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
...
