Use a PEM file to pull or push

You can use your server .pem file instead of creating a new key pair.

  • Get your .pem public key, by running the following command:

        $ ssh-keygen -y -f KEYFILE
    
  • Add this key to Gitlab using the application API.

  • Edit (or create if not exists) ~/.ssh/config and add the following lines, replacing SERVER-IP with the IP address or domain name of the GitLab server if necessary and KEYFILE with the full path to the .pem file.

        Host SERVER-IP
        IdentityFile KEYFILE
