Now that we have an SSH key pair, we need to set up our virtual server to accept this key.
On your local machine, use the cat command to print out the content of your public key to the terminal and copy it to your clipboard (for example, using Ctrl + Shift + C):
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pubssh-rsa 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 ...
