How I Uploaded My NR-V2X Pedestrian Safety Project to GitHub Using SSH (Windows + Git Bash)

If you’re a researcher or student, keeping your projects on GitHub is a lifesaver. It gives version control, easy sharing, and backup. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how I uploaded my NR-V2X Pedestrian Safety project to GitHub securely using SSH on Windows.

Step 1: Install Git and Open Git Bash

First, install Git for Windows: https://git-scm.com/downloads

Once installed, open Git Bash — it handles SSH much better than Command Prompt or PowerShell.

Step 2: Create an SSH Folder

In Git Bash, type:

mkdir ~/.ssh

This creates a hidden .ssh folder in your home directory.

Step 3: Generate an SSH Key Pair

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com" -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
  • Press Enter when asked for a passphrase (optional)
  • This creates:
    • id_ed25519 → private key (keep secret)
    • id_ed25519.pub → public key (to share with GitHub)

Step 4: Start the SSH Agent and Add Your Key

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

This ensures Git Bash can use your SSH key for authentication.

Step 5: Add the Public Key to GitHub

  1. Copy your public key to clipboard: 
    cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
  2. On GitHub, go to: Settings → SSH and GPG Keys → New SSH Key
  3. Paste the key, give it a title like My PC, then save

Step 6: Test the SSH Connection

ssh -T git@github.com

You should see:

Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

✅ This confirms SSH is working.

Step 7: Link Your Local Repository to GitHub

cd "/path/to/your/project"
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/your-repo.git

Replace username and your-repo with your GitHub username and repository name.

Step 8: Push Your Project

git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: NR-V2X pedestrian safety project"
git push -u origin main

All your project files are now safely on GitHub. For future updates:

git add .
git commit -m "Update: description of change"
git push

Outcome

  • Your project is live on GitHub
  • SSH ensures secure, password-free pushes
  • Version control and collaboration are easy

💡 Tip: Always use Git Bash on Windows for SSH workflows — avoids the common “authentication failed” errors.

From DSRC to 5G NR-V2X: The Road Ahead for Connected Vehicles

Modern vehicles are no longer just machines on wheels. Through Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication , they are becoming active participants in intelligent transport systems, enabling safer driving, smoother traffic, and progress toward automation. DSRC: The First Step The earliest V2X technology was Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) , based on IEEE 802.11p. Operating in the 5.9 GHz band , it allowed onboard units (OBUs) in vehicles to exchange safety and infotainment data with roadside units (RSUs) . While DSRC was effective for short-range messaging, it faced limits in coverage, data rate, and quality of service (QoS) . These challenges motivated researchers to explore new solutions. D2D and the Cellular Shift A key breakthrough came with Device-to-Device (D2D) communication , where vehicles exchange information directly without always relying on infrastructure. This reduces latency, eases network congestion, and helps maintain reliability in crow...
