## Creating SSH Key
|
|
Ideally the following steps are completed on the device and user which you want to allow the connection from, so it will be saved in their `~/.ssh` folder.
|
|
|
|
Run the following commands:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/.ssh
|
|
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
|
|
```
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> You can also use a name instead of the email address i.e. `"lucas-desktop"`
|
|
|
|
## Add Keys to ssh-agent
|
|
Run the following command
|
|
`ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519`
|
|
|
|
Replace `id_ed25519` in the command with the name of your private key file
|
|
|
|
## Add Public key to Gitea
|
|
`cat` the contents of the public key and add it into Gitea under **Settings** > **SSH / GPG Keys** > **Add key**.
