Generate an SSH key

It is common to access Git repositories using SSH keys.

1. In GitEye's Dashboard, click SSH Settings.

   The General tab displays your SSH home location. If you've already been using openSSH, the SSH keys will be picked up from this location.

2. To generate a new SSH key, click the Key Management tab.

   You are presented with different options to generate keys.

3. Click Generate RSA Key.
   The SSH key pair is generated.

   
4. Add a passphrase to protect the key.
5. Click Save Private Key and accept the folder where you want it saved.
6. Click Apply.

You can now paste the public key into your remote authorized_keys file. If you are working with TeamForge, here's what you need to do:

7. Log into your TeamForge site.
8. On your My Workspace screen, click My Settings in your personal navigation bar.
9. On your User Details page, click Authorization Keys.
10. On the Authorization Keys page, copy the public key from GitEye and paste it into the Authorized Keys field.
11. Click Update.
