In this tutorial, I’m want to use SSH keys to interact with git my project. How to generate Gitlab ssh key pair for your account.
How to do Gitlab ssh key pair
If you do not have an SSH key pair, then error message as below:
$ cat ~huupv/.ssh/id_rsa.pub cat: /home/huupv/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory
To generate a new ssh key pair
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "huupv@devopsroles.com" -b 4096
The output Gitlab ssh key pair as bellow
Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/huupv/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/home/huupv/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/huupv/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/huupv/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 2a:16:6d:94:35:a2:02:db:2c:ce:fb:4f:79:56:bf:0b huupv@devopsroles.com The key's randomart image is: +--[ RSA 4096]----+
To generate 2 files as below:
Private key: id_rsa Public key: id_rsa.pub
I already have ssh key pair to create on my laptop.
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The content public key id_rsa.pub as below:
ssh-rsa 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 huupv@devopsroles.com
