Add SSH key in GitLab account
Today, we'll see how we can add SSH key to our GitLab account so that we can push, pull & perform tasks from our GitLab in local machine. First, we need to have a GitLab account without any SSH key (preferred). Now, we need to create SSL certificate. Remember, Gitlab only allows some hashing methods for this. Following is the list: Now, we need to open Command Prompt in our local machine & enter following command:- ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "YOUR_MAIL_ID" ; since I want to use ed25519 hashing algo, I've used that. For others, use those names. Then, just press enter for the prompts, for simplicity, it'll ask for the filename & any passphrase we wanna use. Keys will be generated after you press enter. It'll look like this :- Now, files will be generated like below :- You open the file with extension .pub just generated & copy whole file content. Go to the SSL page in Gitlab & click on Add new Key button In the SSL content, paste the key copied from file. Put other details as needed & click on Add Key button. Your key will be added successfully with other SSH key & fingerprint details. Now, just to check your gitlab is connected to your local machine, put below command & press Enter :- ssh -vT git@gitlab.com You must see a message 'Welcome to Gitlab, [YOUR_USERNAME]!' in the screen along with some other details.
