Overview

 
  Manage SSH keys registered with your GitLab account.

    glab ssh-key <command> [command] [--flags]  
            
  COMMANDS  
            
    add [key-file] [--flags]   Add an SSH key to your GitLab account.
    delete <key-id> [--flags]  Deletes a single SSH key specified by the ID.
    get <key-id> [--flags]     Returns a single SSH key specified by the ID.
    list [--flags]             Get a list of SSH keys for the currently authenticated user.

⚠️ Security Warning: Public Keys Only

Always verify you are uploading a PUBLIC key, not a private key.

  • ✅ Public keys: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub (.pub extension)
  • ❌ Private keys: ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 (no extension — NEVER upload these)

Uploading a private key to GitLab would expose your credentials. Double-check the filename before running glab ssh-key add.

bash
# ✅ Safe — public key
glab ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub --title "My Laptop"
 
# ❌ NEVER do this — private key
# glab ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 --title "My Laptop"

Before uploading, verify your key is public:

bash
# Should start with 'ssh-rsa', 'ssh-ed25519', 'ecdsa-sha2-*', etc.
head -c 20 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Quick start

bash
glab ssh-key --help

v1.89.0 Updates

v1.89.0+: glab ssh-key list and glab ssh-key get support --output json / -F json for structured output, ideal for agent automation.
bash
# List SSH keys with JSON output (v1.89.0+)
glab ssh-key list --output json
glab ssh-key list -F json
 
# Get a specific SSH key with JSON output (v1.89.0+)
glab ssh-key get <key-id> --output json
glab ssh-key get <key-id> -F json

Subcommands
