SSH Key Setup

To access git servers through Hoop, you need an SSH key registered with your git server account. This works with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, and any SSH-based git server.

​
Generate SSH Key (if you don’t have one)

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/git_key -N ""

​
Register Key with Your Git Server

GitHub:
  • Go to GitHub Settings → SSH and GPG keys → New SSH key
  • Paste your public key
  • Give it a name (e.g., “Git Access”)
  • Click “Add SSH key”
GitLab:
  • Go to GitLab Settings → SSH Keys
  • Paste your public key
  • Set expiration date if needed
  • Click “Add key”
Gitea/Forgejo:
  • Go to Settings → SSH/GPG Keys
  • Click “Add Key”
  • Paste your public key

​
Display Your Public Key

cat ~/.ssh/git_key.pub
