[Blackpool] Homework if you want it. GitHub instructions

[Tony Hughes]

Hi All

I'm having problems with setting up github

I've tried to create an ssh key which I can do in terminal as it shows 
in the tutorial but when I open the key in gedit it is a private key and 
looks totally different to the one shown in the tutorial and github will 
not accept it as it says I'm adding lines!!!! all I'm doing is copy and 
paste.

This is the error mesg

Key is invalid. It cannot contain newlines. Ensure you've copied the 
file correctly

this is the key being generated:
