Generate the ssh pair and save the private one in the computer. I use PuTTYgen. Create a New SSH key by pasting the content copied in step 1. Now you can start working with Git!
  • The.pub file is your public key, and the other file is the corresponding private key. If you don’t have these files (or you don’t even have a.ssh directory), you can create them by running a program called ssh-keygen, which is provided with the SSH package on Linux/macOS systems.

Windows Generate Ssh Key Gitlab

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 server without using username and password each time. You can set the SSH keys to provide a reliable connection between the computer and GitLab. Before generating ssh keygen, you need to have Git installed in your system.

Creating SSH Key

Step 1 − To create SSH key, open the command prompt and enter the command as shown below −

It will prompt for 'Enter file in which to save the key (//.ssh/id_rsa):', just type file name and press enter. Next a prompt to enter password shows 'Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):'. Enter some password and press enter. You will see the generated SSH key as shown in the below image −

Step 2 − Now login to your GitLab account and click on the Settings option.

Step 3 − To create SSH key, click on the SSH keys tab at left side of the menu.

  1. Install Putty and related utilities

  2. Set system environment variable in Windows(Control PanelSystem and SecuritySystem --> and clicking on 'Advanced system settings' in the left pane. Then click on 'Environment Variables') GIT_SSH=%path_to_plink.exe% (Note plink.exe goes into wherever you installed Putty)

  3. Generate a ssh key using puttygen.exe (ssh2-rsa, 4096, comment=GitLab, and set a passphrase)

  4. Add key to pageant.exe and the public key to your GitLab profile

  5. Ensure you start a new command shell so that git recognizes the GIT_SSH value

  6. Try these two commands to check connection first. This should give you a popup window that authenticates connection

  7. set Git putty git@gitlab.com:%user%/%repo.git%

Usage: Starcraft 2 wings of liberty key generator.

  1. Start pagent.exe from Putty folder
  2. Add key to pageant.exe
