## Adding a new SSH key to your account
You can add an SSH key and use it for authentication, or commit signing, or both. If you want to use the same SSH key for both authentication and signing, you need to upload it twice.
After adding a new SSH authentication key to your account on {% ifversion ghae %}{% data variables.product.product_name %}{% else %}{% data variables.location.product_location %}{% endif %}, you can reconfigure any local repositories to use SSH. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/get-started/getting-started-with-git/managing-remote-repositories#switching-remote-urls-from-https-to-ssh)."
