Retrieve (or create) your public key
Your public key is generally located in the default location and can be retrieved with the following command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
If this file does not exist it may be that you've not previously created a public key, but you can create one with the following command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
- For additional information regarding this step: https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud/getting-started/ssh-keys/generating-an-ssh-key-manually/manually-generating-your-ssh-key-in-mac-os-x
