IguanaX invokes the ssh-keygen tool to generate the SSH keys required to authenticate with Git hosting services. SSH Key generation and registration with the Git hosting service is setup in Settings > Git.

ssh-keygen is part of OpenSSH included in Windows 10 onwards. For some older windows server operating systems we instead look to find these tools as part of the GIT Git installation. See How does Iguana X IguanaX find Git and sshSSH?
