You can optionally change the location (you probably do not want to do this) and add password protection. Please don't create a passphrase as we can't support that setup on the end-user side.

.ssh/id_ed25519.pub . Provide this key when requesting access to INCLINE.Note When a SSH key pair is created two files will be created id_ed25519 and id_ed25519.pub. The file ending in .pub is the public key and must be provided when requesting access to INCLINE. The non .pub file is your private key, treat this like a password and do not share it with anyone.
