 You need an SSH key that resides on your workstation/notebook. You can use an already existing key or generate a new one.
-To check if you already have an SSH certificate that you have to check the file:
+To check if you already have an SSH key you have to check the file:
 LINUX/MACOSX <code>.ssh/id_rsa.pub </code>
 WINDOWS <code>%userprofile%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub</code>
-If this file contains an SSH-RSA key, proceed to [[https://wiki.inf.unibz.it/auth/howto/sshkeygitlab#configure_gitlab_online| Configure the SSH key on gitlab.inf.unibz.it]].
+If this file contains an SSH-RSA key (open the file with a text editor), proceed to [[https://wiki.inf.unibz.it/auth/howto/sshkeygitlab#configure_gitlab_online| Configure the SSH key on gitlab.inf.unibz.it]].
-If this file is empty or does not exist, it means that the key was never generated.
+If this file is empty or does not exist, it means that the key was never generated so you have to generate it.
+To generate an SSH key via command line open a LINUX/MACOSX terminal or WINDOWS Git-Bash and run the command:
+<code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com" -b 4096</code>
+When you're asked to "Enter a file in which to save the key," select either the default location or a location you prefer and leave as name id_rsa (if this is your only RSA key) or setup a file name of your choice.[[https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ssh/README.html|GitLab Official Documentation]]
-To generate the key you can use a key generator such as [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|PuTTYgen]], or command line.
+<note important>Windows Git Bash your rsa-key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) file MUST be called id_rsa.</note>
-To generate the key via command line use the command:
-<code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@unibz.it" -b 4096</code>
-To generate the key via PuTTygen follow the guidelines of the product.
-<note important>Windows GitBash your rsa-key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) file must be called id_rsa. Create it if it does not exist and add the generated rsa key there </note>
-Remember that you can also use another name for the file name. You can call the file gitlab.inf_rsa if you prefer or anything else.
+You can also use a key generator such as [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|PuTTYgen]] instead of using the terminal. Please refer to the guidelines of the product on how to create the RSA key and the location of the file.
