# Adding SSH keys
To incorporate SSH keys, for instance, to enable authentication with a Git server, follow these steps:
Step 0: If necessary, generate a keypair, for example using the command:
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
```
Please note that setting a password for the keypair is not yet tested.
Step 1: Create a new file named `yourservice.yaml` within the [secrets](../../../secrets/) directory by executing the following command:
```bash
sops secrets/yourservice.yaml
```
Within this file, create a value that contains your private key. For example:
```yaml
yourservice:
ssh: |
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
<...>
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
```
Step 2: Reference this value in [your sops configuration](../../utils/sops/default.nix) as follows:
```
sops.secrets."yourservice/ssh".format = "yaml";
sops.secrets."yourservice/sss".sopsFile = secrets/youservice.yaml;
```
Step 3: Finally, add the SSH key to your SSH configuration so that it is used correctly when connecting to your host. Add the following lines to your SSH configuraton file:
```
Host yourservice
IdentityFile /run/secrets/yourservice/ssh
```
