Log in to http://git.sugarlabs.org/account and upload you public key. In your account you can find a link named <tt>Add SSH key</tt>. You can paste your public key directly to the input field.
Log in to http://git.sugarlabs.org/ click on ''Dashboard'', then ''Manage SSH'', then ''Add SSH key''. The ''Add a new public SSH key'' page will appear, with a large text entry field. Open your public key in a text editor or web browser, and then paste it into the text entry field. Click on ''Save''.
Once you do this, Gitorious trusts SSH connection from your system because your system has the private key, and Gitorious has the public key.
(With ssh-keygen you can specify the name of your key file. Using this feature is not a good idea, because we haven't tested it. Keys should generally be located in <tt>~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</tt> or <tt>~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub</tt>.)
