Generating Your SSH Public Key Many Git servers authenticate using SSH public keys. In order to provide a public key, each user in your system must generate one if they don’t already have one. The simplest way to generate a key pair is to run ssh-keygen without arguments. In this case, it will prompt for the file in which to store keys. Here's an example: klar (11:39) ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. Then click Help then click Show Ssh Key, then click Generate Key. While you're at it, then copy to the clipboard, and then go to your Gitlab account page and add the SSH key to your Gitlab account's ssh settings.

GitLab - SSH Key Setup - The SSH stands for Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell used for managing the networks, operating systems and configurations and also authenticates to the GitLab. You moved the key but you did not setup the proper file permissions, or did a proper setup of the ssh-agent. If you just generate a new key the gen will take care of that. When you generate is good to have at least a size of 2k, 4k if you want to access more secure environments (some services require minimum 4k). If you used a non-default file path for your GitLab SSH key pair, you must configure your SSH client to find your GitLab private SSH key for connections to GitLab. Open a terminal and use the following commands (replacing otheridrsa with your private SSH key).

Gitlab.com does not accept my RSA public SSH key

I generated an SSH RSA key and posted the id_rsa.pub content on Gitlab.com (https://gitlab.com/profile/keys) When I try to push/pull I will always get: Permission denied (publickey). Regardless of if I generate it with the same username as I have on gitlab or my own default username. Regardless of key length. I tried making the password the same but all doesn't work. I paste the whole content (including 'rsa-key' and '[email protected]' after the trailing ) Any ideas? Pushing and pulling with https works fine.

After you've checked for existing SSH keys, you can generate a new SSH key to use for authentication, then add it to the ssh-agent.

If you don't already have an SSH key, you must generate a new SSH key. If you're unsure whether you already have an SSH key, check for existing keys.

If you don't want to reenter your passphrase every time you use your SSH key, you can add your key to the SSH agent, which manages your SSH keys and remembers your passphrase.

Generating a new SSH key

  1. Open TerminalTerminalGit Bash.

  2. Paste the text below, substituting in your GitHub Enterprise email address.

    This creates a new ssh key, using the provided email as a label.

  3. When you're prompted to 'Enter a file in which to save the key,' press Enter. This accepts the default file location.

  4. At the prompt, type a secure passphrase. For more information, see 'Working with SSH key passphrases'.

Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent

Before adding a new SSH key to the ssh-agent to manage your keys, you should have checked for existing SSH keys and generated a new SSH key. When adding your SSH key to the agent, use the default macOS ssh-add command, and not an application installed by macports, homebrew, or some other external source.

Generate Ssh Keys For Gitlab

  1. Start the ssh-agent in the background.

  2. If you're using macOS Sierra 10.12.2 or later, you will need to modify your ~/.ssh/config file to automatically load keys into the ssh-agent and store passphrases in your keychain.

  3. Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent and store your passphrase in the keychain. If you created your key with a different name, or if you are adding an existing key that has a different name, replace id_rsa in the command with the name of your private key file.

    Note: The -K option is Apple's standard version of ssh-add, which stores the passphrase in your keychain for you when you add an ssh key to the ssh-agent.

    If you don't have Apple's standard version installed, you may receive an error. For more information on resolving this error, see 'Error: ssh-add: illegal option -- K.'

  4. Add the SSH key to your GitHub account.

If you have GitHub Desktop installed, you can use it to clone repositories and not deal with SSH keys. It also comes with the Git Bash tool, which is the preferred way of running git commands on Windows.

  1. Ensure the ssh-agent is running:

    • If you are using the Git Shell that's installed with GitHub Desktop, the ssh-agent should be running.

    • If you are using another terminal prompt, such as Git for Windows, you can use the 'Auto-launching the ssh-agent' instructions in 'Working with SSH key passphrases', or start it manually:

  2. Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent. If you created your key with a different name, or if you are adding an existing key that has a different name, replace id_rsa in the command with the name of your private key file.

  3. Add the SSH key to your GitHub account.

  1. Start the ssh-agent in the background.

  2. Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent. If you created your key with a different name, or if you are adding an existing key that has a different name, replace id_rsa in the command with the name of your private key file.

  3. Add the SSH key to your GitHub account.
