# How to create your SSH Keys
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
1. The first thing you need to do is go to your [command line](start-using-git.md)
|
||||
and follow the [instructions](../ssh/README.md) to generate your SSH key pair.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your SSH Key
|
||||
1. Once you do that, login to GitLab with your credentials.
|
||||
1. On the upper right corner, click on your avatar and go to your **Profile settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
1. Navigate to the **SSH keys** tab.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add your SSH Key
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
On the left side menu, click on "profile settings" and then click on "SSH Keys":
|
||||
3. Paste your **public** key that you generated in the first step in the 'Key'
|
||||
box.

|
||||
|
||||
Then click on the green button "Add SSH Key":
|
||||
1. Optionally, give it a descriptive title so that you can recognize it in the
|
||||
event you add multiple keys.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
There, you should paste the SSH Key that your command line will generate for you. Below you'll find the steps to generate it:
|
||||
1. Finally, click on **Add key** to add it to GitLab. You will be able to see
|
||||
its fingerprint, its title and creation date.

|

|
||||
## 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.
|
||||
>**Note:**
|
||||
Once you add a key, you cannot edit it, only remove it. In case the paste
|
||||
didn't work, you will have to remove the offending key and re-add 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.
|
||||
Congratulations! You are now ready to use Git over SSH, instead of Git over HTTP!
