Can't find .ssh directory in my terminal?
Solution 1:
If the .ssh directory does not exist, you can simply create it:
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
Here, ~ is your home folder and is the same as /Users/allison. It is not the same as the root directory, which is / and thus the root of the entire file system.
Note that you usually do not need to manually create the folder. If you have never generated any SSH keys, or you haven't used SSH yet, the folder does not need to exist. However, once you generate a key (with ssh-keygen), SSH will automatically create the folder for you.
