GitLab offers repository access via SSH and authentication with SSH key.

If you don't already have one, see [[Creating SSH Key]].

  - Copy the contents of the SSH Key: <code> $ xclip -sel clip < path/to/id_rsa.pub </code> or open the file with a text editor and manually copy the contents.
  - Go to [[https://gitlab.cern.ch/profile/keys|Profile Settings > SSH Keys]] on GitLab.
  - Paste the key into the entry box (optional: Title).
  - Click "Add Key".
