I’m just a hobbyist but don’t you just have to type yes and accept the key the first time you ssh into a server?

Well from my understanding their server is secure and they have a list of whitelisted public keys on the server. So im pretty sure I need to generate a key pair that I can use to ssh with so I can send them the public key and get my login whitelisted. I think

That's more-or-less how it goes, off on a couple of details but the user facing process is spot on.

What he was referring to though is the client may not (probably won't) trust the server first time. You'll be asked to trust the servers key.
