Overview
In CONTRIBUTING - 2.7.f i "Setting up SSH keys for Mac" we need to provide instructions for creating the folder ~/.ssh prior to using ssh-keygen in order to avoid confusion for developers creating their initial SSH key.
Action Items
- [x] In your local IDE, open CONTRIBUTING.md and navigate to "Section 2.7.f i. Setting up SSH Keys for Mac"
- [x] Replace
##### **i. Setting up SSH Keys for Mac**
1. You have to set up SSH keys in order to contribute to github remotely. First check if you have any keys set up already.
```bash
ls -al ~/.ssh
```
with
##### **i. Setting up SSH Keys for Mac**
1. You have to set up SSH keys in order to contribute to github remotely. First check if you have any keys set up already.
```bash
ls -al ~/.ssh
```
If the folder ~/.ssh does not exist, create it using
```bash
mkdir ~/.ssh
```
- [x] Changes to CONTRIBUTING.md cannot be tested locally, rather they must be tested after pushing the issue branch to your fork of the repository. Push your issue branch in the usual manner, but before creating the Pull Request, check your updates using this test URL. Also store the test URL for use in a later step:
https://github.com/[REPLACE WITH GITHUB HANDLE]/website/blob/[REPLACE WITH NAME OF ISSUE BRANCH]/CONTRIBUTING.md
(for example: https://github.com/bonniewolfe/website/blob/issue-branch-1234/CONTRIBUTING.md)
- [ ] Create a pull request with your changes. In the Pull Request, after the "Why did you make the changes" section, add this line to help reviewers, replacing the text in brackets (and the brackets) with the test URL from the previous Action Item.
For Reviewers: Do not review changes locally, rather, review changes at [REPLACE WITH TEST URL]

Hi @roslynwythe.
Please don't forget to add the proper labels to this issue. Currently, the labels for the following are missing:
- Complexity, Role, Feature, Size
NOTE: Please ignore this comment if you do not have 'write' access to this directory.
To add a label, take a look at Github's documentation here.
Also, don't forget to remove the "missing labels" afterwards. To remove a label, the process is similar to adding a label, but you select a currently added label to remove it.
After the proper labels are added, the merge team will review the issue and add a "Ready for Prioritization" label once it is ready for prioritization.
