Generate new SSH Key in GIT GUI. Ask Question Asked 3 years, 3 months ago. Active 3 years, 3 months ago. Viewed 3k times 4. 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? Aug 18, 2017  But Git GUI didn’t let me delete it. Generating a key disables the Generate Key button, and there’s no Delete Key button: It’s obvious from the screenshot that the key is in a file named idrsa.pub, which is in a folder.ssh somewhere on my machine, and that I apparently just needed to delete this file.
