# Using SSH keys in Termux for Git

[[termux]]. ssh. git.

I need to install a couple of packages.

```sh
pkg install openssl-tool
pkg install openssh
```

Set up your ssh key.  I use passphrases.

To have gitlab.com in your git config be recognised by ssh, and to use the particular key for gitlab:

```nil
Host gitlab.com
        HostName gitlab.com
        User git
        Port 22
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab
```

To make sure you don't have to keep entering it:

```nil
Host *
        AddKeysToAgent yes
```

And at the start of new Termux session:

```sh
# if bash
eval $(ssh-agent)
# if fish
eval (ssh-agent -c | sed 's/setenv/set -x/g')
ssh-add
```
