Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!

SHA256:hotsxb/qVi1/ycUU2wXF6mfGH++Yk7WYZv0r+tIhg4I.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/scott/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

md C:\\Users\\yourcurrentuser\\.ssh
echo 'Host *
    StrictHostKeyChecking no
