how to make ssh keygen work properly to set ssh keys for cloning and other purposes

In the below code

############-L1 MINGW64 ~
$ which git
/mingw64/bin/git

############-L1 MINGW64 ~
$ git --version
git version 2.22.0.windows.1

############-L1 MINGW64 ~
$ which git -v

############-L1 MINGW64 ~
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

############-L1 MINGW64 ~
$

which is run in Git Bash v2.22. I am not able to create the SSH key using the above ssh-keygen command. I have made sure I cleared the credentials using credential manager for Git. I have made sure to restart the computer once the installations were done. Any suggestions how can I make this work? I need this so I can clone something from the local repository in my GitLab account and do other functionalities which require an SSH key.

The full command would be

ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" -m PEM 
cd
cd .ssh
ls -alrth

Check that id_rsa/id_rsa.pub are created.
