+# How to Configure your VS Code in the Datacoves Transform tab
+
+When you first log into Datacoves, you will see that VS Code is disabled.
+
+We need to connect to your git repository and to your data warehouse and configure your dbt profiles.yml. To do this, you need to update your user settings.
+
+## Open Your User Settings
+
+At the top right corner of the page, click the User icon and select _Settings_
+
+![User Settings](./assets/menu_user_settings.gif)
+
+## Setup git connection credentials
+
+On the settings page scroll down to the Git SSH keys section.
+
+![Git Settings](./assets/user_settings_git.png)
+
+Click the Add drop down and select whether you want to provide an existing private key or have Datacoves auto generate one for you.
+
+![Git Settings Add](./assets/user_settings_git2.png)
+
+Datacoves will generate and display the corresponding public key, you will need to configure the public key for your git provider.
+
+![Git Settings Public Key](./assets/user_settings_git3.png)
+
+Click the _Copy_ button and follow the instructions to configure the public key for your git server.

+
+[Bitbucket SSH Key Configuration Instructions](https://dev.to/jorge_rockr/configuring-ssh-key-for-bitbucket-repositories-2925)

+
+  # Snowflake Setup
+
+  ## Setup Snowflake with Key Pair
+
+  When connecting to Snowflake, you can use either key based authentication or username/password authentication.
+
+  :::note
+  To enable key-pair authentication, you admin must select `Inferred from user info using a custom template` when setting up the [Connection Template](/how-tos/datacoves/how_to_connection_template.md). The Snowflake username must match the username associated with the email used to authenticate with Datacoves for example `some_user` would be the snowflake username for `some_user@example.com`, please let us know if your username is different.
+  :::
+
+  If using key based authentication, you will need to provide or generate a key which will need to be added to Snowflake manually or contact us for information on how to automate this integration with Snowflake.
+
+  Provide or automatically generate your keys. Then add the public key to Snowflake.
+
+  ![Snowflake Settings Generate Keys](./assets/user_settings_snowflake.png)
+
+  ## Assign the public key to the Snowflake User
+
+  ```
+  alter user <username> set rsa_public_key='<public key>';
+  ```
+
+  More information can be found in the [Snowflake Documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/key-pair-auth.html#step-4-assign-the-public-key-to-a-snowflake-user)
+
+  ## Complete the connection
+
+  In the Database Connection Section, click `Add`
+
+  ![Snowflake Setup Connection](./assets/user_settings_snowflake2.png)
+
+  Give the connection a name. 
+
+  :::tip
+  This will be used as your dbt target name and is typically `dev`. 
+  :::
+
+  Next select a connection template. A connection template will have defaults pre-configured by your administrator.
+
+  ![Snowflake Setup Connection Details](./assets/user_settings_snowflake3.png)
+
+  ## Fill in connection details
+
+  Datacoves will test the connection and display `Tested` next to the connection if successful. 
+
+  :::note
+  You can create additional dbt targets as shown below. This will allow you to execute dbt commands passing a specific target such as `dbt run my_model -t prd`
+  :::
+
+  ![Snowflake Setup Connection Tested](./assets/user_settings_snowflake4.png)
+
+  ### Key Pair 
+
+  If using key pair, you will need to change the auth method to key-pair.
+
+  ![Select Auth](./assets/connection_select_auth.png)
+
+  Select the drop down and your key you configured earlier should populate.
+
+  ![Select Key](./assets/connection_select_key.png)
