# Setting up Gerrit (ssh) {#gerrit-ssh}

1.  Click the **Sign In** button in the top right corner of the page
    [review.typo3.org](https://review.typo3.org).

    ![](../Images/External/Gerrit/Account/gerrit_signin2.png)
    You will be prompted with a regular **Basic Authentication**
    window, simply enter your TYPO3.org username and password you had
    [set up earlier](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:typo3account).
1.  Create your SSH key

    If you don't know how to create your SSH Public/Private Key,
    we have compiled a list of links for you:

    -   [OS X](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:ssh-key-osx)
    -   [Microsoft Windows](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:ssh-key-win)
    -   [Linux/Unix](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3contribute:ssh-key-unix)
1.  Add your public SSH key to Gerrit

    ![](../Images/External/Gerrit/Account/gerrit-add-ssh-key2.png)
    -   Click on your profile in the top right corner and click **Settings**.
    -   On the left hand side, click **SSH Keys**.
    -   Copy-paste the contents of your public SSH key file (e.g.
        `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`) into the text field next to
        **New SSH key** and
        then click on **Add new SSH key**.

If you work with different computers, for example with a notebook
at work and another computer at home you can either copy your
private key or create a separate key for the other computer. Luckily
Gerrit can handle multiple keys.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Always keep your keys private. Never give them away. No member of the
> TYPO3 project will ever ask you for your keys.
