  1. Open the terminal and type: ssh-keygen -t rsa
  2. It will display something like this: -> Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (C:\Users\abc/.ssh/id_rsa):
  3. Copy the path: C:\Users\abc/.ssh/id_rsa -> Enter file in which to save the key (C:\Users\sonnguyen/.ssh/id_rsa): C:\Users\sonnguyen/.ssh/id_rsa -> press Enter
  4. Enter a password and confirm the password
  5. You will see the location of the generated SSH key open in Notepad; copy this and paste it into GitLab.

Go to your GitLab account: https://gitlab.com/

Click on Settings on the top right drop-down, which will appear once you select the icon(white-fox image [specific to my profile]). enter image description here

Add/Paste the SSH Key.
How to generate the ssh key: Download gitbash or putty:

After downloading gitbash/putty follow the steps:

  1. Open a terminal on Linux or macOS, or Git Bash / WSL on Windows.

  2. Generate a new ED25519 SSH key pair: 

    ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

    Or, if you want to use RSA: 

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

    It will generate the key in => C:\Users\yourname.ssh directory.

  3. Copy the public key and paste in the gitlab location:

    enter image description here

Command to run on gitbash to clone the repository: 

ssh-agent $(ssh-add C:\Users\youname\.ssh\id_rsa; git clone [email protected]:xyz/SpringBootStarter.git)

First, you need to do open terminal after that type 

   mkdir -p ~/.ssh
   echo public_key_string >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
   chmod -R go= ~/.ssh
   chown -R shabeer:shabeer ~/.ssh
   ssh-keygen  or ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
   xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
   ~/.ssh/gitlab_rsa.pub

in this time can see your key and copy it, After that Go to the Gitlab settings and chose SSH Keys, you can see there have to option add that copied key

Goto https://gitlab.com/profile/keys.

If you are a new user a banner will show at the top of each project page.

You won't be able to pull or push project code via SSH until you add an SSH key to your profile

However, you can dismiss this warning.
