In order to clone repositories down to your development environment, you will need to generate an SSH key pair specifically to use with GitLab.
Please follow the below instructions for setting up your GitLab keys on your Linux (WSL) or macOs development machine:
- Generate an SSH key:
ssh-keygen
The command will generate a public and private key pair and will ask you to enter a file in which to save the key (press enter to use the default location/file):
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter a passphrase for your key pair or leave empty:
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your public and private key will be saved in /home/user/.ssh
Your public key has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256: xyz
The key's randomart image is:
Ascii image...
- Saving your public key on GitLab:
Once you have generated your key pair, you need to copy the public key to GitLab.
- Open the SSH public key file generated in the previous step using:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
- Copy the contents of the SSH public key file to your clipboard and add to GitLab using the following steps.
Navigate your profile icon in the top right-hand corner and in the drop-down menu, select Edit Profile. Once on your profile screen, select SSH Keys from the menu on the left-hand side and enter the content of your public SSH key in the text box under Add an SSH Key (the file should end with .pub). Once your key is in place, add a descriptive name and select the Add Key button.

Terraform is a powerful Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool. Follow these steps to install Terraform on your Linux (WSL) development machine:
- Download Terraform:
curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.14.7/terraform_0.14.7_linux_amd64.zip
- Unzip the downloaded package:
unzip terraform_0.14.7_linux_amd64.zip
- Move the Terraform binary to a directory included in your system's PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin/):
sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/
- Verify the installation:
terraform --version
You should see Terraform's version information if the installation was successful.
- Create a Terraform Configuration File (e.g., main.tf):
touch main.tf
After running the above command, you will have created an empty Terraform configuration file named "main.tf". This file is where you define your infrastructure using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL).
Edit the configuration file with your infrastructure code using a text editor of your choice. For example, you can use:
nano main.tf
This command opens the "main.tf" file in the chosen text editor. Add your Terraform configuration code to define and configure the desired infrastructure.
- Initialize the Terraform Configuration:
terraform init
This command initializes the working directory and downloads the necessary plugins.
- Review and Apply the Terraform Configuration:
terraform apply
Review the proposed changes and type "yes" to apply them. Terraform will provision the defined infrastructure.

Python is a powerful programming language. Follow these steps to install Python on your MacOS machine:
- Check if Python is already installed by opening Terminal and typing `python --version`. If Python is installed, this command will display the version number. If it's not installed, you'll see a message saying "command not found".
- If Python is not installed or you want to install a newer version, you can use Homebrew, a package manager for MacOS. If you haven't installed Homebrew yet, you can install it by pasting the following command in Terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
- Once Homebrew is installed, you can install Python by typing `brew install python`. This will install the latest version of Python.
- After the installation is complete, you can check the Python version again by typing `python --version`.
Remember, you might need to replace `python` with `python3` in the commands above, depending on your system configuration.
