Getting Started

I see my computer’s username in my SSH key, but my username is different on worms.sh.

This is ok! When you generate a public SSH key, it’ll append a human-readable identity at the end of it. This is so that you and others can see who the key belongs to. By default, this identity is <username>@<host>. Your computer and the server don’t actually look at that part, so you can change it to whatever you’d like. The ssh-keygen program has a built-in way of doing that: if you run ssh-keygen -c, you can change the “comment” of your key.
