How To Clone A Private Repo to a cPanel

1. Generate An SSH Key

If you have not already configured one, run the following command to generate an SSH key:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "username@example"

In this example, “username” represents the cPanel account username and “example” represents the domain name.

After you run this command, the system will prompt you to enter a passphrase.

Do not enter a passphrase.

Press Enter to continue.

2. Verify That You Generated The Ssh Key Correctly

To confirm that the key exists and is in the correct location, run the following command:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

3. Add the id_rsal.pub into the repository’s access keys

Just copy paste the above output and you’re good to go!
