Create and Configure GitLab SSH Keys

If you want to clone a GitLab repo over SSH, you&need to first configure GitLab SSH Keys. That means performing the step of SSH key generation with the ssh keygen tool, copy the value of the public key, config a GitLab SSH Key in your account preferences, and then grab the GitLab URL to perform the GitLab SSH clone operation. It sounds like a lot, but it&really not that bad. In this video, I perform the GitLab SSH Key configuration in less than five minutes. And all you have to do is perform a GitLab SSH clone once, and all subsequent push, pull and fetch operations will occur over SSH. No more configuration will be required!
