I'm totally new on GitHub, and don't know how to make good use of it. How do l make use of this link https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/testing-your-ssh-connection?platform=windows ??

My purpose is to try out my SSH key.

What do you mean “how do I make use of this link”? Are you struggling with the directions in the link? Have you already done some of the instructions? Are you trying to use this link in a different way?

    If you have generated the SSH key, which they describe in a linked article, then you just enter the "ssh" command they list in this article to confirm that it's working.

    You'll probably have some sort of virtual terminal program in your desktop environment that'll bring up a prompt that probably ends in a dollar sign where you can enter bash commands. If you're using KDE, it'll be "Konsole". If GNOME, I believe it's "GNOME Terminal".
