Ok, I have been using hours to figure this out. Here is the key generating procedure:
D:\Homestead~\Homestead>ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (C:\Users\User/.ssh/id_rsa): sshfile
sshfile already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in sshfile.
Your public key has been saved in sshfile.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:MWvErLS4n/6r7ve10kmnYOsRvBU2OdrWvLGNiJNEymw [email protected]
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 4096]----+

D:\Homestead~\Homestead>
And I am still unable to locate the file!
(C:\Users\User/.ssh/id_rsa):
I´m getting confused due to the forward slash in the file path: (C:\Users\User/.ssh/id_rsa)
It seems like there is minor detail I´m not seeing...
