 You can generate a keypair specifically for connecting to github like this:
 
 ```
-$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "hpotter@hogwarts.wiz" -f ~/.ssh/github_id_rsa -N ''
-Generating public/private rsa key pair.
+$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "hpotter@hogwarts.wiz" -f ~/.ssh/github_id_rsa -N ''
+Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
 Your identification has been saved in /Users/hpotter/.ssh/github_id_rsa.
 Your public key has been saved in /Users/hpotter/.ssh/github_id_rsa.pub.
 The key fingerprint is:
-SHA256:w1ZAgf+Ge+R662PU18ASqx8sZYfg9OxKhE/ZFf9zwvE hpotter@hogwarts.wiz
+SHA256:qBCOybcJkgs1xdNoocYlsZz3jNQhGgOymreQAQRyh0c hpotter@hogwarts.wiz
 The key's randomart image is:

 Some explanation of the arguments used in the above example:
 
 ```
-    -t rsa                         Use a key type of RSA
+    -t ed25519                     Use a key type of ed25519
 
     -C "hpotter@hogwarts.wiz"      Provide an identity to associate with the key (default is
                                    user@host in the local environment)
