Ssh Key Generation Linux
Description
The SSH stands for Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell used for managing the networks, operating systems and configurations and also authenticates to the GitLab server without using username and password each time. You can set the SSH keys to provide a reliable connection between the computer and GitLab. Before generating ssh keygen, you need to have Git installed in your system.
