+### FAQ
+
+#### How do I push or pull without SSH?
+
+You can't use SSH directly because tt-rss Gitlab is behind Cloudflare. You can use HTTPS with personal access tokens instead.
+
+Create a personal access token in [Gitlab preferences](https://gitlab.tt-rss.org/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens);
+
+Optionally, configure Git to transparently work with tt-rss Gitlab repositories using HTTPS:
+
+```
+git config --global \
+  --add url."https://gitlab-token:your-personal-access-token@gitlab.tt-rss.org/".insteadOf \
+  "git@gitlab.tt-rss.org:"
+```
+
+Alternatively, checkout over HTTPS while adding the token manually:
+
+```
+git clone https://gitlab-token:your-personal-access-token@gitlab.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/tt-rss.git tt-rss
+```
+
+That's it.
