======Create new SSH Keys======

If you click on this button, you can create SSH keys.  This button behaves in two ways: 

**If you are an ordinary member**\\
If you had not selected any repository, it will ask you for name of the repository for which the Key has to be created.  It also asks for the name of the member for whom the keys are to be created.

**If you are the owner of a repository**\\
In such a case, you should be able to refresh the list of repositories, and then select the repository there first. After that, when you press this button, it would ask for the name of the member. 


In both cases, make sure such a member is registered at the server for your //Git Winch// or if the member was not registered then that person must quickly register there before the said person can be regarded as a member.

This functionality is the only one on this page which can actually be created by non-owners. For example; a remote worker may want to create his/her own keys button. After the keys are generated, the person should locate the generated key in the //members// sub-folder within this application's folder. The name of the newly created key filenames would be of this format:

<repositoryname>_<membername>.pub\\
<repositoryname>_<membername>.priv 

For example; if the repository is named //ourofficework// and the member's name is //Rekha// then once the keys are generated, they would be present in the aforementioned members sub-folder (within the application folder)

ourofficework_Rekha.pub\\
ourofficework_Rekha.priv

The member can then send the file //ourofficework_Rekha.pub// to the actual owner of the //ourofficework// repository with the request that the member be added to the group of the //ourofficework// repository.
