**Tip:** With Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can use `clip.exe`. Otherwise if `clip` isn't working, you can locate the hidden `.ssh` folder, open the file in your favorite text editor, and copy it to your clipboard.

- With Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can use `clip.exe`. Otherwise if `clip` isn't working, you can locate the hidden `.ssh` folder, open the file in your favorite text editor, and copy it to your clipboard.
- On newer versions of Windows that use the Windows Terminal, or anywhere else that uses the PowerShell command line, you may receive a `ParseError` stating that `The '&lt;' operator is reserved for future use.` In this case, the following alternative `clip` command should be used:

```shell
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub | clip
# Copies the contents of the id_{% ifversion ghae %}rsa{% else %}ed25519{% endif %}.pub file to your clipboard
```
