# How to create your SSH Keys
2015-06-22 12:00:38 -04:00
You need to connect your computer to your GitLab account through SSH Keys. They are unique for every computer that you link your GitLab account with.
## Generate your SSH Key
Create an account on GitLab. Sign up and check your email for your confirmation link.

After you confirm, go to GitLab and sign in to your account.

There, you should paste the SSH Key that your command line will generate for you. Below you'll find the steps to generate it:

## To generate an SSH Key on your command line
Go to your [command line](start-using-git.md) and follow the [instructions](../ssh/README.md) to generate it.
Copy the SSH Key that your command line created and paste it on the "Key" box on the GitLab page. The title will be added automatically.

Now, you'll be able to use Git over SSH, instead of Git over HTTP.
