Generate new SSH Key in Git GUI

Actually, I have generated a SSH Key using Git GUI. But I would like to modify the existing SSH Key. I don't see any options for modifying the existing key.

Can anyone tell me how to modify the existing SSH Key?

To modify the existing default ssh key, you don't need to gui.

Make sure your <git>\usr\bin is in %PATH% and type:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "key for xxx access" -q -P ""

That will propose to override your %HOME%\.ssh\id_rsa(.pub) (with %HOME% generally set to %USERPROFILE%)
