Create the keypair, choosing a new passphrase when you do:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Add the newly minted private key to your MacOS Keychain to store the passphrase and manage unlocking it automagically:

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Copy the public key to the clipboard for getting busy with web services like GitHub, etc.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy

Add your newly minted public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the remote server with correct permissions of both the remote ~/.ssh folder (700) and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (600). W0rd.
