This Help Center article is a companion guide to the **Connecting to Git Using SSH** section of the [Setting Up and Testing a Git Connection](https://docs.looker.com/data-modeling/getting-started/setting-up-git-connection#connecting_to_git_using_ssh) documentation page. This article outlines the steps specific to configuring version control with a [Phabricator](https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/) repository. We recommend that you reference this guide as you move through the steps provided in the documentation.

# Configuring Git with Phabricator

1. Open your project in Looker and then do one of the following:

2. Get the SSH URL for your Phabricator Git repo:

3. In Looker’s Configure Git screen, paste the **SSH URL** for your Phabricator repository, then click **Continue**.

4. Looker may not automatically detect that this is a Phabricator repository; however, you will be prompted to select the host in Looker from a **Git Hosting Service** drop-down menu. Select the entire deploy key and copy it to your clipboard.

5. On the Phabricator **SSH Keys** page, click **SSH Key Actions** , and then the **Upload Public Key** button.

6. Add a title for the deploy key. You might want to include “Looker” and your project title to keep track of it in the future.

7. Paste the Looker SSH deploy key.

8. **Note:** Step 8 in the documentation directs you to select an **Allow write access** checkbox to provide the deploy key with write access to the repository. There is no equivalent checkbox in Phabricator. Move on to the following step.

9. In Phabricator, click the **Upload Public Key** button.

10. Phabricator will show the successfully uploaded Looker SSH deploy key on the **SSH Key** page.

11. Proceed with the remaining setup steps in Looker as specified in Step 11 (Test and Finalize Setup) of the [documentation instructions](https://docs.looker.com/data-modeling/getting-started/setting-up-git-connection#connecting_to_git_using_ssh).

Version control will now be established with your Phabricator repository for developing in Looker!
