Follow the below step:
Step1: open terminal and paste below cmd with your email id which is being used in github or bitbucket or any other hosting service which you are using.
ssh-keygen
Step2: You will get: Generating public/private ssh key pair. no need to type anything just press enter.
Step3: You will get Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/abhishekupadhyay/.ssh/id_rsa): Again don't do anything just press enter.
Step4: You will get Your public key has been saved in /Users/abhishekupadhyay/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Step5: The key fingerprint is: SHA256:0WHGzcQwaT4SabOuL2d2Yl3XPIJgP4E88LA39+rl8zk [email protected] The key's randomart image is: +--[ED25519 256]--+ | oB. | | o=++o+ | | .Bo | | .o@oo | | .S.*.+ o | | . +.o..o| | . . .oo. .| | o * o.o. E.| | B.o.. .oo.| +----[SHA256]-----+
Note: This is not a ssh key which you required for your hosting service(eg. github or bitbucket) your ssh key saved in .ssh/id_rsa.pub
Step6: For copy your public ssh key use below command:
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Step7: You will get ssh key adding option from: Right top icon click--Setting--SSH and GPG keys---New SSh key.
Step8: Paste your ssh key like below , and title would be like "accesstoken", Select key type: "Authentication key" and you are done.
===================================================================== Simple trick: paste below as press enter again and again tiill SHA-256 image comes up.
ssh-keygen
Then
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Now ssh key is copy in clipboard. You can use now to paste.

After that:
/usr/bin/ssh-add -K
(add to keychain)

You can generate SSH keys (for git) in OSX by following these steps on GitHub: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys.
If you need to stick with the .ppk key (and Luchini's post doesn't work for you), you might also find this helpful: Use PPK file in Mac Terminal to connect to remote connection over SSH
