Add an SSH key

SSH keys let you connect securely without a password.

Steps

1. Generate a key pair on your computer if you don't have one:
   • macOS/Linux: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com"
   • Windows: use PuTTYgen or ssh-keygen in PowerShell.
2. Copy your public key (the .pub file, starting with ssh-ed25519 or ssh-rsa). Never share the private key.
3. Go to Websites → [site] → SSH keys and click Add key, then paste the public key.
4. Save. You can now connect using the matching private key.

Troubleshooting

• Permission denied (publickey) — you likely pasted the private key or wrong file; paste the .pub contents.
• Which key was used? — remove and re-add if unsure; keep your private key safe.
