Configure Github
Copy the public key
Terminal input: pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub(XX.pub corresponds to your public key type). If pbcopy does not work, you can find the hidden .ssh folder in the corresponding directory, open the file with a text editor, and copy it to the clipboard.

Paste the content you just copied into the Key, and pick up the title:
