+# How to create your SSH Keys
+
+You need to connect your computer to your GitLab account through SSH Keys. They are unique for every computer that you link your GitLab account with.
+
+## Generate your SSH Key
+
+* Create an account on GitLab. Sign up and check your email for your confirmation link
+
+* After you confirm, go to [gitlab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/) and sign in to your account
+
+## Add your SSH Key
+
+* At the top right corner, click on "profile settings"
+

+

+
+## To generate an SSH Key on your commandline
+
+* Go to your [commandline](start_using_git.md) and follow the [instructions](https://gitlab.com/help/ssh/README) to generate it 
+
+* Copy the SSH Key that your commandline created and paste it on the "Key" box on the GitLab page. The title will be added automatically

+
+* Now, you'll be able to use Git over SSH, instead of Git over HTTP.
