SSH keys are an access credential used in SSH protocol (Secure Shell) which is a network protocol that helps to login from one computer to another securely, as well as to manage networks, operating systems, and configurations. This snippet is going to help you add an SSH key to the ssh-agent, generate a new SSH key, learn how to find the SSH key of your PC and how to connect it with your GitHub/bitbucket account. You can also find information on the use of SSH keys.
Now let's find out how we can checkout PC's SSH keys.
Type ls -al ~/.ssh so as to see your ssh keys:
By default, the filenames of the public keys are one of the following:
Type this below, using your GitHub's account email:

If you use HTTPS, you have to type your account access every time you communicate with the remote repository, or change your configs and fill your account data (access). Another modern way is to use the SSH authentication method. It is used in many Version Control Systems to have command line access into your servers, etc. SSH key pairs can be used for authentication instead of passwords. Each key pair consists of a private key and a corresponding public key. When you use SSH key for Git, you inform Git that this PC is authenticated for that Github account, and it will never ask you about any access again because you have already given it your SSH key.
