what are you trying to do with ssh?

are you looking for Tools > Start SSH session @coral night

[coral night]

i try to get my SSH key for gitlab

[normal cobalt]

you mean you're trying to retrieve the public key you added to your gitlab account?

[coral night]

yes i need generate the key with intelliJ no?

and put that in gitlab

[normal cobalt]

no, you do that in the command line

ssh-key-gen or something; there are a million tutorials for how to do that online

[coral night]

but i use intellij not commandline, i watched a bunch of tutorials already <_<

[normal cobalt]

but essentially, you run that, it puts an id_rsa.pub public key file in your ~/.ssh folder, and you copy the contents of that into gitlab or github or wherever

just use the command line

[coral night]

then i have to install git client, i dont want that

i only wanna use intellij

[normal cobalt]

no you don't

your linux install should already come with ssh-key-gen

[coral night]
