+# Git SSH keys
+
+Create a new ssh key.  
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "<name>"
+```
+
+Change into the BASH shell and enter the next two commands in there  
+```bash
+eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
+```
+
+```bash
+ssh-add <path to private key file>
+```
+
+Add the public key to the github/gitlab profile.  
+
+Set the ssh keyfile in $HOME/.ssh/config. Make sure to edit with sudo privileges.  
+
+For github:  
+```
+Host github.com
+      IdentityFile <path to private key file>
+```
+
+For gitlab:  
+```
+Host gitlab.com
+      IdentityFile <path to private key file>
