git ssh key configuration Ubuntu os

1. Generate SSH Key:

Ssh-keygen-t rsa-c "[Email protected]"

At this point, there will be two files, Id_rsa and id_rsa.pub under the ~/.ssh/folder. Save the SSH key and the public key separately.

2. Copy the contents of the id_rsa.pub into the Ssh_key section of the Gitlab server under the personal account.

3. Add the encryption key locally:

Ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

This step seems to be necessary under Linux, and not adding this step will result in the identification of the account password. This step is not required under Windows.

4. Download the project from a git server:

git clone [email Protected]:author/repo
