# Create and add your SSH key pair
This document was moved to [another location](../ssh/README.md).
It's best practice to use [Git over SSH instead of Git over HTTP](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols).
In order to use SSH, you need to:
1. Create an SSH key pair
1. Add your SSH public key to GitLab
## Creating your SSH key pair
1. Go to your [command line](start-using-git.md#command-shell).
1. Follow the [instructions](../ssh/README.md#generating-a-new-ssh-key-pair) to generate
your SSH key pair.
## Adding your SSH public key to GitLab
To add the SSH public key to GitLab, see
[Adding an SSH key to your GitLab account](../ssh/README.md#adding-an-ssh-key-to-your-gitlab-account).
NOTE:
Once you add a key, you can't edit it. If it did not paste properly, it
[will not work](../ssh/README.md#testing-that-everything-is-set-up-correctly), and
you need to remove the key from GitLab and try adding it again.
