2. Then, we’ll see a list of servers now. In order to add the SSH key to a particular server, click on it.

3. Now we’ll be in the server’s details page, where we can control a number of server-related functions.

4. Search for a section on SSH keys. This is typically found in Laravel Forge’s “SSH Keys” page or a related area.

5. There is a button to add a new SSH key under the SSH keys section. So, toggle this option on.

6. We must enter the following details while adding the SSH key:

Key Name: The key’s label, which is frequently used to identify it.

Public Key: The actual information contained in the public key file, which typically ends in .pub. The contents of the public key file can be copied and pasted here.
