+1. 🗝️ Create a new SSH key pair
 
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/KEYNAME
+Example:
+
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/mesechannel
+✅ Creates:
+
+~/.ssh/mesechannel (private key)
+~/.ssh/mesechannel.pub (public key)
+2. 🗝️ Add the new public key to Gitolite
+
+Clone the gitolite-admin repo if you haven't already:
+
+git clone kokyou.dev:gitolite-admin
+(use your admin key).
+
+Then:
+
+cd gitolite-admin
+cp ~/.ssh/mesechannel.pub keydir/mesechannel.pub
+✅ You added the user key.
+
+3. 🛠️ Edit conf/gitolite.conf
+
+Edit conf/gitolite.conf:
+
+@devs = mesechannel mesepackager
+
+repo airsituation
+    RW+ = @devs
+
+repo gitolite-admin
+    RW+ = admin mesechannel
+✅ Both admin and mesechannel can now fully control Gitolite.
+
+4. 📤 Admin Push Syntax (VERY IMPORTANT)
+
+Once you changed keydir/ and/or conf/, you must commit and push like this:
+
+git add keydir/
+git add conf/gitolite.conf
+git commit -m "Add mesechannel as dev and admin"
+git push
+In short:
+
+Always git add the modified files.
+Always git commit.
+Always git push to update Gitolite immediately.
+✅ After push, Gitolite applies changes automatically — no restart needed.
+
+5. 🔐 Edit local ~/.ssh/config
+
+Host kokyou.dev
+    User git
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/admin
+    IdentitiesOnly yes
+
+Host gitolite-mesechannel
+    HostName kokyou.dev
+    User git
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mesechannel
+    IdentitiesOnly yes
+
+Host gitolite-mesepackager
+    HostName kokyou.dev
+    User git
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mesepackager
+    IdentitiesOnly yes
+✅ SSH knows which key to use depending on which Host alias you reference.
+
+6. 🚀 Push an existing local project to Gitolite
+
+From your project directory:
+
+cd ~/projects/myproject
+git remote add origin gitolite-mesechannel:airsituation
+git push -u origin main
+✅ Your full project history is uploaded.
+
+7. 📥 Clone a repo using different users/keys
+
+Example:
+
+git clone gitolite-mesechannel:airsituation
+or
+
+git clone gitolite-mesepackager:some-other-repo
+depending on which SSH identity you use.
