# Get Git SSH public key

`GET /api/hosting/v1/accounts/{username}/git/ssh-key`

Returns the public SSH key of the hosting account. `Deploy website Git repository` uses this key to
clone and pull over SSH, so a private repository works once the key is added to it as a deploy key
on the Git host. `public_key` is null when the account has no key yet.

## Path parameters

- `username` string, required

## Response `200`

Success response

- HostingV1GitGitSshKeyResource — Public SSH key the hosting account uses to clone and pull Git repositories
  - `public_key` string, nullable, required — Public key to add as a deploy key on the Git host. Null when the account has no key yet.

## Other responses
